Mariah Hostrander

Has not connected their Facebook account.

Compared to Natalie Merchant but a bit more rockin', Mariah Hostrander is a praise and worship artist with a folk/pop-rock sound.

Mariah Hostrander began her singing/songwriting career in 2006 at the age of 13. With influences from BarlowGirl to Paul Baloche, Mariah has captured the muse to deliver a compelling folk-rock sound with well-crafted lyrics that tell life stories easy for most people to appreciate.

Mariah Hostrander's first full-length project, "Beautiful Scars" was released in 2008, followed by a Christmas single "The Angels Sing" in 2009. Fast forward to 2011 and "Picture It," impeccably expands her discography with her first national release with Tate Music Group.
Now for 2012 Mariah is teaming up with award winning producers and musicians Nathan Walters and Gabe Combs of Multitone Music in Nashville TN (Dove Award winners from the group Plus One).

Mariah will be writing and producing the single along side of Nathan and Gabe. Several songs will be written and one of the songs will be chosen to be released to radio on a national level in the spring of 2012.

Most important to Mariah, "Ultimately, I want to glorify God with the gift He's given me and I want to reach and inspire people."

As well, recently Mariah has teamed up with the Principled Warrior Foundation. To show her support she wrote a song titled "I'm Alive" and will be donating 50% of the proceeds to the foundation. This foundation is being established to provide support to our servicemen and servicewomen and their families with PTSD and brain injuries.
