Mariama Whyte

 

 

“Mariama brings a fresh sound she describes as “contemporary R&B with splashes of world and rock music,” evidenced in her newly released EP, “Find Your Light.” Her new album features production and writing collaborations with Vencott (Vennie) R. Palmer, Rhett George, Lubabalo Sibindlana, Felton Offard and Rufus Bonds, Jr. Influenced by countless pop icons, she delivers passion and heart in her music and performance.”

 

“Equally vibrant behind the scenes, Mariama dreams of penning songs for other artists, films, plays, and other media and already has projects in early development. Mariama is a young woman of undeniable skill, talent, and exceptional artistry. With beautiful, unique melodies and lyrics, versatile music, an empowering message and a distinct voice of pure range and power, Mariama Whyte is destined to flourish as an innovative musical powerhouse.”
