Who is Mary Millben? To sing the US national anthem for Donald Trump’s nomination speech, the singer performed before Prime Minister Modi

Popular African-American singer Mary Millben would sing the US national anthem here on Thursday before Donald Trump gave his acceptance speech for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination.

“We are all still processing the assassination attempt on Donald 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,” Millben said.

In the United States and around the world, she is often referred to as America’s “National Anthem Singer.”

Millben has played 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 – as well as for international royalty and heads of state such as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“The moment when God protected President Trump’s life in Pennsylvania is clear. The moment when I must strike a note of unity before President Trump accepts his nomination to be the 47th president is clear. And the moment when we must unite as Americans is clear,” she said.

“The moment of the national anthem does that for us. It reminds us that we are all Americans first and foremost. One nation under God. Republican or Democrat means nothing to God. But our love for one another does,” the singer said.

We must return to civility in our democratic process, Millben said. “I pray that my performance and the moment of the national anthem will fill our hearts and souls with the love of God, the love of our country, the love of President Trump and the love of one another.”

Millben sang the national anthem at President Trump’s 58th inauguration victory ceremony and in 2020, as well as at the Republican National Committee convention immediately prior to President Donald Trump’s official re-nomination.

She was invited by the campaign of Donald J. Trump, the Republican National Committee and the Committee on Arrangements of the Republican National Convention, according to a press release on Sunday.
