Mariah Berry

I absolutely LOVE writing/composing my own songs. I have and will listen all kinds of music from Opera to R&B to Classic Rock. Even though I'm not the strongest singer, I do love singing as well :)

My biggest musical inspirations are Michael Jackson, Claude Debussy, Celine Dion, Enya, Queen, and my grandmother, who is a jazz singer.

I started writing my own music about two years ago ranging from R&B to classical. I just recently finished composing my first Orchestral piece for String Orchestra and Piano. Other than playing viola for almost 9 years and being mostly self taught on the piano, I have had no outside musical training. I've found over the years that whenever I played my viola or piano I always enjoyed playing songs that I made up, as opposed to written music, although I enjoy doing that as well.

I decided to try my hand at composing some of my own music so I got myself a cheap but functional version of Finale and started musically hankering away.
And the rest they say is history...
