She and her husband, "The Posch Duo", were initially billed as "John Posch & Glay Marie", and began their entertainment career with Adams and Green Talent Agency in Houston, Texas. After their marriage, and relocation to Maryland, the piano/bass duo established their presence in the Baltimore area through Starleigh Entertainment Agency, having the awesome experience of playing at Cal Ripken, Jr.'s wedding reception.

      An exceptionally versatile musician, GlayMarie enjoys singng a variety of musical styles which she incorporates into all of her music and finds herself particularly inspired in the children's music arena where she is known as The Lone Star Ladybug !  GlayMarie says of her experiences - "There's a unique fulfillment in performing for children - their innocent and unpretentious nature, the gleam and eagerness in their eyes. You can always see in their eyes just how well you're entertaining them, especially when it's time for audience participation!"
