MUSIC.

Where it all began…

Among Mari's projects: she wrote songs with legendary lyricists Alan and Marilyn Bergman for the musical CHASING MEM’RIES. which had its world premiere at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles; wrote the string orchestrations for "Come Live With Me" on Steve Tyrell's #1 Billboard-charting album A SONG FOR YOU; co-produced Bill Cantos’ new album SENSIBILITY (coming in spring 2023), featuring previously unreleased songs she wrote with Burt Bacharach and Johnny Mandel; and co-produced tracks for Tony Award winner Lillias White and Grammy winner Deniece Williams.

Mari has released three solo CDs as a pianist/composer; her instrumental music is a blend of classical, pop, gospel and jazz influences.

Mari toured as keyboardist, conductor, and/or musical director with Donna Summer, Amy Grant, Nell Carter, Debby Boone, Deniece Williams, and Vikki Carr. Mari is also a playwright with many performed works to her credit.
