Mary Ocher was born on November 10, 1986 in Moscow, Russia. Ocher moved to Tel Aviv at the tender age of four and to Berlin at 20. She has been playing with various media, be it with words, sound, color or movement since mastering the craft of songwriting at the age of 11. Disillusioned by the mainstream music industry, she set her mind on accomplishing everything DIY. With her first band, Mary And The Baby Cheeses, she released five limited edition independent releases. The band toured all over Europe, in the underground circles, but that wasn't enough for young Ocher. War Songs was the first label release, which came out on the Berlin-based label Haute Areal on March 11th, 2011, followed by a 7'' EP. Both received incredibly wonderful reviews. Other than being a stunning musician, Mary makes film, visual art, documentaries, music videos, art installations and poetry. She has become an integral part of the upcoming international Berlin cream. In 2011, she was discovered by King Khan at a karaoke bar in Berlin, and he immediately invited her to record at his legendary Moon Studios. The album took over a year to finish, and in the meantime, she has launched the new-tribalism act Your Government with an incredible drummer duo, and toured along the German best-selling author Sibylle Berg, for her novel Vielen Dank fuer Das Leben. Mary Ocher continues to bewilder audiences with her powerful performances and incredible, out-of-this-world voice. Her wild outfits have also caused quite a stir on the scene. She currently resides in Berlin and is preparing for world domination.
