Katie Mariah - Katie Mariah is an Oklahoma native. She grew up performing in the symphony hall, little theaters and churches of her hometown, Enid. Since leaving home for New York City at 18, Katie Mariah’s been rambling, studying music and writing her own tunes. Now back in Oklahoma she figured it was time to start performing again. She’ll tell you in song what she’s been doing and where she’s been.  "Well the crops weren’t tall in the fields at all that summer, But the hot winds tore right through our young and tender hearts, Daddy’s dreams were scattered like the red dirt on our fields, So all our plans would slowly drift apart, That’s how I’ll remember you, For the rest of my life..." - from  Katie's song Summer Nights

Looking in the mirror could reward you even more if you could see yourself through my own eyes." - from Michael’s song – The Most Amazing Thing
