About Mara

Sexy, passionate rock with soul that takes you on a journey to everywhere you’ve been or hope to go is how one fan describes Mara’s music. This award winning singer/songwriter rocks audiences with high-energy live shows, either solo acoustic or with her band, Mara & The Big Rock Stars, which showcase her natural talents as a powerful vocalist and entertainer. Music Connection Magazine hails, "Mara is a star in the making. She seems one break away from achieving the type of success that Janis, Stevie Nicks and the Wilson sisters enjoyed." They also named her latest EP, Tease, as one of the Top 25 CDs of The Year, and listed her as one of the Hot 100 Unsigned Artist Of The Year for the past seven years in a row. Produced in Los Angeles by Chris Fudurich (Britney Spears, Sophie B. Hawkins, Susanna Hoffs, etc.), Tease features Andy Georges (Jewel, Sheryl Crow) on guitar and a guest vocal from Adam Kowalczyk (Live).

Co-writer of the MySpace holiday smash hit “This Halloween” (with over a half-million views online and airplay on MTV’s Total Request Live) and six-time recipient of the ASCAPLU$ (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) Award recognizing her as an active and promising young songwriter, Mara has earned accolades from much of the music industry; including the prestigious Billboard and John Lennon Songwriting Contests, Guitar World: Acoustic magazine, and the Los Angeles Music Awards. Mara also signed an agreement with Bunim-Murray Productions to license It’s Who I Am and Tease for MTV programming, including the hit reality series The Real World and Road Rules. Other film and video placements followed, including Columbia Tri-Star’s cult hit, Infested, and film festival darling Ten Till Noon.

A native New Yorker, Mara jump-started her career playing on the streets and in the pubs of Scotland. She soon found herself playing five packed nights a week for locals and International backpackers, promoting her acoustic self-titled EP. Invitations for live radio appearances and performances as a featured artist at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival kept her on the move. She returned to tour in the UK, and to play at the 2002, 2003 and 2004 Edinburgh Fringe Festivals. Her performances gained national media coverage on Scottish television, radio and worldwide webcasts. In the states and overseas, Mara performs at high-profile festivals (South By Southwest, CMJ, etc.), colleges and clubs. She honors the memory of her Grandmother and the struggles of other family members by committing her time to various breast cancer charities and by donating a portion of every album sale to breast cancer research. Mara is currently writing songs to be placed in film/TV and with Grammy award winning artists.

PHANTOM POWER PRODUCTIONS	May 23 2008 11:41 AM So funny, I've been meaning to write you. I hooked up with Broncaz through your page. CRAZY. I saw this face among your friends and I said who is that beautiful refreshing face. Figured it was a music profile so I went to her page. I sent her a message that I thought she had a wonderful look and a refreshing sound. We exchanged about 5 messages before I figured out who she was! DAMN THAT GIRL HAS GONE FROM CUTE TO STEAMY HOT! Anyway, I'm happy to be reconnected with our little girl and thanks to you for the network. Hey, Dolinksy had a baby. No, I don't know how to reach her. Cip texted me. That's all I got.
