Mary Lydia Ryan

Mary began her musical roots well before she was born. "There is no recollection of life without playing and singing," Mary claims. "My first memories are of sitting at the piano figuring out how to play songs I loved from the radio." Mary's first public singing performance was at two and a half years in front of the congregation at her family's church. Her early performance years were shared with her two elder sisters and often an older brother presenting original variety shows in which their Mother had composed and scripted for them.
