Mary Elizabeth McDonald, more commonly known as MaryLiz, is a 19-year-old go getter with a passion for music and drive that is out of this world. She was fittingly named The Princess after being introduced numerous times as the Princess of R&B at her concerts and throughout her university by her supporters and dedicated fans. So here she stands as MaryLiz, The Princess. Born and raised in Irmo, SC on April 26, 1990, she began singing at the age of 3. Always a creative child, she was writing songs and performing at 7, picked up the Viola at 9, and became a self-taught pianist at age 13.
As if this is not enough to prove her natural, God-given talent, she started recording professionally at 14 and has been doing it ever since. Always determined to chase after her dreams, MaryLiz fully dedicated herself to pursuing a musical career in her freshman year of highschool, but bound by high-school commitments, she was never able to put her plan into motion until graduating Spring 2008.
November 29, 2007 marked the day that will forever be tattooed on the young musician’s heart; this is the day her father, and best friend none-the-less, was killed by lung cancer. In his last words to MaryLiz in his self-written obituary he encouraged her to get to the top. This was the extra push for her to take a blind leap of faith into the music industry and trust the musicianship she was blessed with to find her ultimate success.
Despite the nay-sayers and negative people that have devoted themselves to bringing her down, MaryLiz has set full sprint toward her dreams, going against the grain and all odds to make a name for herself and for all her supporters that believe in her.
Presently, MaryLiz is enrolled at the University of South Carolina taking up Music and Business Marketing while continuing to pursue her music career. At age 19 she has solidified herself as MaryLiz The Princess: Singer/Songwriter/Pianist/Violist/Producer – And this is only the beginning.
