Mary Griffin

Grammy-Nominated Artist and Owner, Mahogany Entertainment, LLC
Mary Griffin displays the vocal prowess, attitude and range of a true ingénue. With a powerfully unique voice and a definitive sound, Griffin consistently delivers soul stirring performances that captivate audiences around the world. Using her past as a spring board, Griffin channels memories into melodies that are proud and strong. Her rich melodic sound and exciting performance style are rooted in the story of a pastor’s daughter with a passion for singing good music. With Curb Records, Griffin began singing for movie soundtracks and was even featured in the movie Studio 54 where she portrayed the artist Amii Stewart and sang “Knock on Wood” for the soundtrack. She performed “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” with Frankie Valli for the closing credits of Conspiracy Theory. Griffin also sang “I Wanna Get Back With You” written by Diane Warren, for the movie Driven starring Sylvester Stallone and Burt Reynolds. Other notable movies that feature Griffin’s voice include: a duet with Benny Mardones, Coyote Ugly and Ballistic X vs Sever where she sang the end credit song “Anytime.”
After returning from Europe promoting and shooting the video for “Ain’t No Living Without You” by Louis Biancaniello and Sam Waters from Color Me Bad, she released “I Surrender” which was then covered by Celine Dion. “I Surrender” was an instant success with Celine, and further drove Griffin’s writing and singing out front with her recording of the song on her album “Purified”, released in 2002. In August 2011 Griffin recorded the theme song “Speed“ with producer Stephen Emmer, along with two other songs for the Cirque du Soleil show “Holiday on Ice“. Griffin recently wrote “City of Love” for “The Horn Dogz” of Paris and covered Aretha Franklin’s “Rock Steady” and performed in a video for the project.
She finished touring with George Clinton and Patti Labelle in 2015, two people who brought her exciting memories as well as lessons in music, love and living. Griffin is now creating new projects under her own label, Mahogany Entertainment, LLC. She released her first Gospel album “For Such A Time As This” in September of 2016, and her first in a series of Christmas Albums “Mary’s Christmas, Vol 1” in December 2017. Griffin sang two tracks on the “Home Ground” compilation CD by Stephen Emmer in Europe, which won the 2018 Humanitarian Gold Medal at the Global Music Awards. Griffin plans two album releases in 2018, with “Rebuild”, themed with rebuilding live music in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, planning to be released August 29.
