Mariah Hester

Shreveport-born, Hester is a signed artist with Univerity Park Records in conjunction with Music Matters Entertainment. She began singing at the age of 5 in the church choir and school plays. Her mother’s own rigid vocal coaching was the foundation of Mariah’s initial training.

“She is an “old soul” with a flare for the arts, including public speaking, painting pottery, and dance. Strong in her faith in God, this NICU Nurse and proud member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. continues to sing and perform while pursuing her degree and serving in multiple roles,” says Fred Moss IV, executive director of Rho Omega and Friends, chairman of the Let The Good Times Roll, and owner of FIVProductions, LLC.
