Today's performer: Mary Cross
Introducing the extraordinary musical talent from the heart of South Jersey, Mary Cross. A journey that began in the church, Mary Cross discovered her calling at the age of 12, her voice echoing through gospel melodies that would set the stage for her future in the world of music. Mary found solace and inspiration in music from an early age. Born in Camden, NJ, the rhythms of her upbringing permeated her soul, creating a foundation for the artist she would become. Music became more than a hobby—it was a lifeline that accompanied her through the highs and lows of life.
Influenced by a rich tapestry of musical legends, Mary Cross’ style and brand draw inspiration from the elegance of Nancy Wilson, the emotive power of Phyllis Hyman, the soulful storytelling of Nina Simone, and the timeless grace of Oleta Adams. Her musical journey is guided by contemporary luminaries, including Gregory Porter, Sarah Vaughan, Gladys Knight, CeCe Winans, Randy Crawford, and Lizz Wright, shaping Cross' distinctive approach to her craft.
As Mary Cross continues to evolve in her musical odyssey, her name echoes beyond the borders of Camden, NJ. With a style that seamlessly blends the classic and the contemporary, she invites audiences to join her on a heartfelt and uplifting exploration of sound. In a world where music is both a refuge and a celebration, Mary Cross stands as a beacon, sharing the transformative power of melody—one note at a time. Her journey is a testament to the enduring magic of music, a magic she generously shares with the world.
