The Lyrical Power of Mary Fakhoury

With a lyrical voice that drips with jazzy vocals or deep bluesy notes, Chicago's very own, Mary Fakhoury is a musical talent that deserves to be heard, not only in the United States but far beyond the confines of America. Whether she is belting out Jazz or Pop Rock ballads, her voice has some special story to tell to ears that will definitely listen to her powerful voice. Mary has graced many stages between Chicago, New Jersey, and Cleveland, with highlights at The Beat Kitchen, Mexicali Blues, Hard Rock Café, The Penny Road Pub, and Fitgerald's to packed houses of musical listeners who were drawn into her diverse musical world. Extending herself to other debut artists in the musical arena, Mary has now established her company, Music Girl Publications, in order to assist other new artists with artistic development.

Armed with a Masters Degree in Education, and skilled as a voice over artist, Mary has also been featured as a print and commercial model with BMG Models, and Lily's Talent Agency in Chicago, and some theatrical credits. She is an emerging artist who continues to develop her voice and multi-talented nature will continue to impact the entertainment, music, and print industries.

Coming from a long line of artists from her family, she continues the tradition as she releases her a new album debuting in September 2006. Mary states her new album will be "a second CD combining the unique sounds I grew up around with modern day pop and rock ballads."

Not only concerned about herself as an artist, she has established her music publishing company, Music Girl Publications, as a vehicle for local and international artists to protect their original work and negotiate music deals. Mary created Music Girl Publications to help artists with getting their work exposed to print, commercial and other media outlets, in a safe way whereas the work would not be stolen or used inappropriately. Music Girl Publications is affiliated with the BMI and artists would be attached to a company that affiliated with one of the music industry's most powerful entities. This ensures that the artists work is in very good hands.

Upcoming events for Mary Fakhoury include, the listening party for Lived Two Worlds, in late September 2006. She will be featured in two magazines, Luxury Magazine of Jordan, and Spirit Magazine, right out of Chicago, Illinois.

With a powerful voice that ranges from light pop ballads to culturally flavored songs in the French or Jordanian dialect, she is a very busy vocalist whose second album, Lived Two Worlds, a melting pot of contemporary love ballads and jazz standards that blow listeners away and it will also set the standards for diverse material which the current mainstream is lacking. If you are interesting in music that will bring back that old feeling of contemporary love, with light jazz, or pop vocals that are fun and catchy, then listening to this Chicago songbird may be up your musical alley.
