Local Singer-Songwriter Mariama Whyte Releases Uplifting New Single

A singer, songwriter, recording artist and actor whose musical foundation lies in R&B/soul, local singer-songwriter Mariama Whyte draws from reggae, inspirational music and pop music.

An author and former Broadway touring performer with The Lion King and The Color Purple, Whyte received a 2020 Artist Residency from Karamu House as well as a 2019 Verge Fellowship from Cleveland Arts Prize.

She’s just released her new reggae/pop single, “This is a Gift,” a tune that’ll be included on her forthcoming full-length album, Hey You It's Me. The uplifting song serves as an extension of previous releases such as "We Be One," "I Need You" and "This Mother's Life."
