About Me

Mary Lemanski is a talented and eclectic singer, songwriter, and musician, who has also worked in many facets of the music industry, including promotion, radio, staging and live sound production, recording, and remix production. After high school, Mary earned a degree in Music and Business Administration with a concentration in Musical Composition and an emphasis in piano and voice from Millikin University. In 1999, Mary completed studies in audio engineering at the Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences. During that summer, she interned at BMG Entertainment and Epitaph Records in Los Angeles. In 2003, Mary graduated from the University of Phoenix with a Master of Business Administration in e-Business. In 2004, Mary placed runner-up in the Song of the Year Contest, had a Top 10 Hit on Broadjam.com's New Wave charts, and several top 10 hits on Cornerband.com's Arizona local music charts. In 2005, she was chosen to showcase at Earth Mother Mind Jam in Tempe, AZ, the Putt Putt Pub Crawl in St. Louis, MO, and the Millennium Music Conference in Harrisburg, PA. Ms. Lemanski has written columns for GoGirlsMusic.com and LooseyLucy's Headquarters, and has done songwriting, marketing, and image consultation for many record labels and individual artists. She has opened for acts such as Marky Ramone & the Speed Kings, D.I., and Val Emmich. In May 2006, Mary's song, "A Better Place," received honorable mention in the R&B/Hip-Hop category of the Song of the Year Contest. Due to the birth of her first child on February 16, 2007 and her move to the Chicago area this past summer, Mary Lemanski is taking an undetermined, if not permanent, break from the music and entertainment business.
