Mary Millben To Perform National Anthem For The 2024 Republican National Convention – Nomination Evening Of President Donald J. Trump

NEW YORK – Primetime, 6PM CT, Thursday, July 18th, Award-winning International Singer Mary Millben will perform the National Anthem in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the 2024 Republican National Convention prior to President Donald J. Trump accepting the nomination to be the 47th President of the United States.  

Formally invited by the Donald J. Trump Campaign, the Republican National Committee, and the Republican National Convention’s Committee on Arrangements, Mary is no stranger to the American political arena.  Coined as America’s “National Anthem Singer” across the United States and the world, Mary has performed the National Anthem and patriotic music for four consecutive U.S. Presidents - President George W. Bush, President Barack Obama, President Donald Trump, and President Joe Biden, international royalty, and world leaders.  

Mary Millben shared the following thoughts on the eve of the Convention's start: “We are all still digesting the assassination attempt of President Trump – a former U.S. President, presidential candidate, and most importantly, my friend.  Yet, I am truly encouraged by the strength and resilience of President Trump.  For years, I have stood on stages singing just prior to President Trump speaking and as I prepare to do again Thursday evening, I do with a greater understanding of the moment.  As a preacher’s daughter, I have learned the relationship of divinity in moments.  The moment God protected President Trump’s life in Pennsylvania is clear.  The moment I have been given to set a tone of unity before President Trump accepts his nomination as the 47th President is clear.  And the moment we are facing now to unite as Americans, is clear.  The National Anthem moment does this for us – reminds us we are all Americans first.  One nation under God.  Republican or Democrat means nothing to God.  But our love for each other does.  We must return to a civility in our democratic process.  My prayer is that my performance and the moment of the National Anthem consumes our hearts and souls with the love of God, love for our country, love for President Trump, and love for each other.”

Mary added: "I have supported the President and First Lady for a long time. This time is a chronicle of friendship, chronicle of great respect for both the candidate and commander-in-chief, and most of all just doing my earthly assignment.  We are all given an assignment, a purpose on this earth.  My purpose included performing for four consecutive U.S. Presidents, singing global anthems across the world, and serving as a reference point to the American dream.  Thursday night, in that historic moment, I aim to glorify God and support my friend.  It’s an honor to serve God, serve America, and sing for the next 47th President of the United States of America, President Donald J. Trump.

“As a native Oklahoman, my upbringing in the Midwest shaped my faith in Jesus Christ and love for America. It is in the heartland of America where I learned the value of the National Anthem moment, our country’s moment of unity.  You get people from all walks of life and different places, you put them in a stadium or room and in one moment, which is the National Anthem moment, everyone is unified in heart and soul.  There are no differences.  Just one people, honoring God, honoring America, honoring those who have sacrificed for our freedom, and reflecting on the beauty of the America dream.  This is the spirit of America. Not who we are as Republicans, Democrats, or Independents. But who we are as Americans. And this is the heart of President Donald Trump.”

Mary performed the National Anthem at the 58th Presidential Inauguration Victory Celebration for President Trump and in 2020, performed the National Anthem at the Republican National Committee Convention just prior to the formal re-nomination of President Donald Trump.  Mary’s greatest impact is using music to unite and promote patriotism across the world.” 

“Performing for President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump spans almost 10 years.  2016, performing the National Anthem at the 58th Presidential Inauguration Victory Celebration. 2019, performing the National Anthem at the official re-election kickoff rally at the Amway Center in Orlando, FL (largest rally to date). 2020, performing the National Anthem prior to President Trump receiving the official nomination at the 2020 Republican Convention. From 2021 – 2023, countless fundraisers and events at Maralago, the home of President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.  Now 2024, here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, performing the National Anthem for the final evening of the Republican National Convention where we will nominate President Donald J. Trump to be our 47th President of the United States.  I am truly honored.”

Mary has been featured at The White House, the United States Congress, 2024 International Cricket Council T20 World Cup (U.S. vs India match), for the National Football League (NFL), National Basketball Association (NBA), Major League Baseball (MLB), 2016 RIO Olympics, off-Broadway, and in concert halls worldwide.  Mary has had a 15-year career singing America’s National Anthem, global anthems, and patriotic music across the world.  She has gained worldwide recognition for her captivating vocal prowess and stirring performances of global national anthems and patriotic songs of the United States, Africa, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and specifically India, China, Brazil, UAE, Israel, and France.  A trained coloratura, Mary is a go-to artist across the world for global stages promoting cultural diplomacy.  Mary is formally recognized as a United States State Department cultural envoy and regarded as a cultural ambassador across the world for her effective leadership in cultural diplomacy, interfaith dialogue, and advocacy for global inclusion. 

A global symbol for faith, freedom and unity, Mary is uniquely gifted to stir spirits across the world in settings of patriotism, global causes, and gatherings of world leaders.  Mary made her way standing on a platform singing for U.S. Presidents and world leaders, in order to be a part of discussions to help change the world. And by changing the world, that includes using her voice and platform to encourage love of country, promote unity, and always honor those who have sacrificed, and continue to sacrifice their lives for freedom. A story of the American dream, Mary is devoted to using her voice and platform to share God’s love to hearts and lands globally.
