Louder Than The Music

Mary Ozaraga, a Singer-Songwriter in Cebu, Philippines, releases new single 'Outrageous Love' on 21st March.

Outrageous Love is Mary's first release for 2023. Written by Amy Berry and Mary, between 2 countries 11,000 km apart, 2 cultures, Scottish and Filipino, from hearts seeking to learn to love & to love well, singing that Love seeks out not only a few good men, but even the messiest of us, whatever state of heart, mind & soul we are in. They hope this song brings out the best of 2 cultures & the message of outrageous, unconditional Love.

Mary is also a Worship Leader for her church in Cebu City, Philippines. She started leading worship for global online settings since the lockdowns.

Mary began sharing her music during the lockdowns in 2020, eventually releasing 3 singles & a 3 track Christmas EP in 2021, and 5 more singles in 2022. Her playfulness and musical influences are seen in how she experiments with song styles. Her background as a drummer is evident in her rhythmic guitar playing, in her songwriting and in her singing style.

Even with varied musical influences, she continues to search for the music of her country's history with a hope to one day raise up worship with music that is now almost completely forgotten.
