Bio

Mary Cross: The Mother of Cool Smoke.  This Singer. Songwriter. Stylista. with vocal tonalities reminiscent of the late Phyllis Hyman are described as timeless, whimsical, romantic and classic.

Inspired by signature voices including Gregory Porter, Nancy Wilson, Nina Simone, Gladys Knight, Melody Gardot, Randy Crawford, Patti Austin,  Betty Wright,  Dionne Warwick, Burt Bacharach, Ledisi, Lalah Hathaway, Lizz Wright, Roberta Flack, Amy Winehouse and Phyllis Hyman, Linda Ronstadt, Karen Carpenter, Trinjnte Oosterhuis, Captain and Tenielle,  Della Reese, Teena Marie,  Phyllis Hyman, Deniece Williams, Sevyn Streeter, O'Jays, Temptations,  Norah Jones, Sara Bareielles, Diana Krall, Stephen Bishop, and many more!  Mary Cross 2NspireU will NOT disappoint!!!

Raised in foster care from birth, Mary endured a tumultuous childhood – but never allowed her situation or circumstances to define nor derail her belief in seeing the good in others and even more importantly, making a difference despite the hand she was dealt.  Her gift of song soothed and comforted her through life challenges.  At age 12, her introduction to the church choir began her musical journey.  She discovered she was not mimicking voices but an aspiring songbird!

Her love for humanity  birthed the decision to pursue a career in healthcare.  An advocate for positive change, she founded 2NspireU, LLC, an organization (with the band founded by the same name) that provides musical performances to seniors and youth organizations, healthcare institutions, universities, private and community events and more.
