Her original tune\, “Dystopian Blues”\, was showcased on ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show.’ A recent collaboration with Brooklyn hip-hop legend AZ on his track “Never Enough” with rapper Rick Ross\, highlights how Mara continues to build bridges and to defy genre expectations. \nThe Marlonius Jazz Orchestra \nHailing from Los Angeles\, Marlon Martinez brings his Marlonius Jazz Orchestra to accompany Miss Mara Kaye!
