Some of her favorite musical accomplishments are performing at the House of Blues and competing in Bitter Jester's Music Festival with her former band, The Browns! Mariah holds the distinct honor of being the very first Bitter Jester MVP Vocalist, too, in 2017!

From the duration of 2019 until now, Mariah has geared her focus on education, but music and movement have never left her. She has participated in her college's Gospel Choir as lead alto, connected with Chicago's dance community, and has built relationships with a diverse group of artists as well as participated in any singing and all singing events she can, if time allows her to.

In addition to music, Mariah's other passion has always been a dedication to finding ways to help others and make the world a better a place. Now as a Social Worker, she is developing resources and wellness to vulnerable populations throughout the Chicagoland. She hopes to rebuild her music opportunities, grow her wellness page, and enjoy every moment she can being a first time mom!

She’s excited to come back and hear all the talented vocalists and musicians that Bitter Jester offers up each year!
