Maggie Marie Sajak (born January 5, 1995) is an American country singer. She is the daughter of Wheel of Fortune host and former WSM-TV Nashville news reporter Pat Sajak[1] and photographer Lesly Brown Sajak.

Her musical style resembles Michelle Branch and Jewel, with influences from Sheryl Crow, Carrie Underwood and Eva Cassidy.[2]

Life and career

Sajak grew up in the Severna Park, Maryland area. She began playing the guitar at age 12. In 2011, she released her first single "First Kiss", an upbeat country pop song.[3] The music video for "First Kiss" was directed by CMT Music Award winning director Trey Fanjoy in Nashville, Tennessee.[4] Sajak's video was featured on the January 3, 2012 episode of Wheel of Fortune as a tribute to her 17th birthday. In 2013, Sajak recorded a song in Nashville called "Live Out Loud" to honor Muriel Walters, a teenage girl in Maryland who was battling cancer.[5] Soon afterwards, one of her songs was featured in the season finale of Sweet Home Alabama.[6]
