MARGIE MAYS

MARGIE MAYS is a singer, songwriter, actor, and host based in Los Angeles, CA.

She left her hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, to attend Stanford University, where she studied Human Biology and Communication, and graduated Phi Beta Kappa. Unable to resist her love for performing any longer, she moved to Los Angeles to study Vocal Performance at the Los Angeles College of Music. She graduated with honors from LACM.

A few weeks after graduating from music school, the roller coaster of life took Margie on a whirlwind experience when she competed on Season 2 of American Idol on ABC, where she became a fan favorite amongst her competitors and finished in the Top 40. For Margie, the experience was nothing short of a dream come true and life has never been the same since. She even got to return for the American Idol Finale to perform “This Is How We Do It” with Montell Jordan, as well as roles on a couple Idol commercials that landed premiere spots during the Oscars.

In fact, she loved the experience so much… she competed again on Season 3 of American Idol on ABC. Her journey can be seen on Hulu, and Netflix outside of the U.S.

Margie is available for all opportunities musical. She also teaches voice and piano lessons, and is passionate about encouraging young singers and performers to not only cultivate their skills, but to believe in themselves and their dreams.

Her latest career endeavors include musical theatre, acting, and on-camera hosting.

In 2022, she starred in her first romantic comedy feature film, called Lucky Hearts, a dream role to boot.

In 2023, she broke into the world of sitcom as a recurring guest star on Call Me Kat. She lived out her country singer dreams as Zoey Monroe (can be seen on FOX/Hulu).

Most recently, Margie just wrapped a run as Jane Porter in TARZAN the Musical at the Moonlight Amphitheatre. Another musical theatre endeavor to note was her 10-week run in Hollywood as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde the Musical (2x award winner for her role as Elle: Broadway World LA’s BEST PERFORMER IN A MUSICAL 2022, & Scenie Award’s BEST BREAKOUT PERFORMANCE IN A MUSICAL 2021-2022).

Off the stage, Margie can typically be found spilling her drinks, checking her Apple Watch for her step count, or dancing in her kitchen to musical theatre soundtracks (always on a mission to improve her dance skills… they need help).
