“I believe my personal signatures in songwriting are a powerful melody, a great hook that you can’t get out of your head, and a compelling bridge.”
Margie Hauser launched her career scoring a total of 19 published songs in 2008 alone. She was the Music Supervisor and collaborated on most of the music in the feature film ALICE UPSIDE DOWN starring Alyson Stoner (Disney’s CAMP ROCK) and Lucas Grabeel (HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL), who each sang two of her songs. “Higher,” the hit single she wrote with Tiffany, set a career record for the 80s pop princess by rising to the Top 10 on the Billboard Dance/Club charts after a ten-week run. The track also made the Top 10 at Perfect Beat for 2007. Tiffany’s follow-up single that Hauser penned, “Just Another Day,” charted top 20 on Billboard and enjoyed an even longer run. Hauser’s prolific output combined with her incredible sense of melody and emotionally powerful lyrics, has been acknowledged alongside of multi-platinum hit-makers Diane Warren and Kara DioGuardi. |

As the artist herself, Hauser, a self-taught pianist/composer, will release “The Journey” in January 2025 followed by a second single "Bold” expected on Valentine’s Day. The full release, a collection of piano solo works totaling 10 songs, is expected in March 2025. Based in Los Angeles, her greatest blessings are her husband, Mark, and their four children, Missy, Eric, Nikki and Katie who she says constantly fuel and inspire her! |

“For me, the key to writing a great song is connecting to the listener right away, whether it’s to make them smile, give them goose bumps, or just let them feel the urge to get up and dance.
