Bio

Age: 18
Hometown: Ashburn, VA
Resident: Ashburn, VA

Mary Kate’s affinity for music started when she was a baby. Her parents quickly learned there was no other way to get her to fall asleep in her car seat without playing hymns. Mary Kate auditioned and landed the role of Young Cosette in a local high school production of “Les Misérables” when she was 8. The show went on to be nominated for a National Theater Award and the cast had the opportunity to perform on the Kennedy Center stage. Since then, Mary Kate has continued musical theater and even won a National Youth Arts Award for Best Lead Actress for the role of Ariel in “The Little Mermaid.” Now, Mary Kate is more interested in being a singer-songwriter than being on a Broadway stage.
