ABOUT

maryjo is a 24-year-old singer/songwriter with an unforgettable voice made for heart-melting piano ballads. Known for her emotional range and vocal agility, she moves effortlessly from full-throated belting to fragile, crackling vulnerability. Though born in Knoxville, she grew up in Cleveland, where she quietly nurtured her passion for songwriting and piano after becoming shy about performing.

It wasn't until she began posting performance videos online that maryjo started to break through her fear. Her raw talent and emotional vulnerability quickly drew a loyal following of over 1.4 million TikTok fans and landed her on season 19 of American Idol. She then signed a major label deal and debuted with "Love Fools" - a stripped back, emotionally rich, ballad produced by ACM Award-winner Gordon Mote. She followed it with standout singles like "Don't Call Me" and "Nothing to Lose", further cementing her as a breakout voice in pop. Her collaboration with global artist CYRIL has surpassed 100 million streams. Now fully independent, maryjo is reclaiming her narrative and leaning deeper into the soul-stirring sound that first made the world listen.
