Mary Redente - Breakaway

Depth, urgency, longing, and release is what my music is all about. I began writing music because there were songs that just needed to be written and I just happened to have a pen and a guitar. I was born for this. Tired of hearing the same messages in pop music, I thought I'd take a different approach. Why not speak a little deeper and impart some wisdom, if you've got some to share! There is so much more to life than melodrama. I vowed when I first began to write songs to pick any topic other than love. Yes, I know it can be the greatest thing and one of the strongest forces on this planet. But we're facing a crisis and there are much more important things that need to be addressed! What we send out into to the world, whether it's in thought, in song, or in action, can have an impact beyond comprehension. I just hope I can do that in a way that will benefit humanity, brighten someone's day, shine a light where there's darkness, and then give something back. It is my intension to foster healing and promote peace through music, giving back my gift where it's most needed and where it can used for the greatest good! I frequently perform around the San Francisco Bay Area both solo and with my band, planting seeds of hope and change.
