From performing “shows” for her dad at 4 years old on her toy piano, to lip reading her mom’s lips to memorize Andrea Bocelli’s “Con Te Partirò” melodies and lyrics have always been threaded and intertwined throughout Maria’s childhood (& DNA). Maria also has kept a journal since she was 7 years old, writing little song ideas, love stories, and expressing the difficult parts of life that she could only put to pen and paper as a way to cope. Throughout her early childhood and into her young adolescence, she performed in high school musicals, chamber choir, All State, All County, NYSMA, Acoustic Cafe’s, & Acapella Groups throughout college. It wasn’t until after Maria graduated college in 2016 where she began to upload covers and original songs to SoundCloud, peaking the interest of a few producers who then guided the path of what creating an original song really looks like. Through a lot of creativity and experimentation, Maria started honing in on her sound, artist direction, & how she could articulate exactly how she was feeling in each song that feels equally as genuine as it is relatable to the listener. Music continues to save her life, and she wants to do the same with her music, making an impact not only globally but generationally. In 2020, Maria finally had the courage to put out her first single ‘Sunshine’ a moody love song dance track. Since, she has grown exponentially in all areas as an artist, released over 15 singles, accumulated over 500K streams on Spotify alone, all independently. Maria’s growth took heights in 2023, when she performed “The Blessing” by Elevation Worship for a friend’s wedding, going immensely viral on all social media platforms, with over 10M views on TikTok alone, incentivizing her to release a cover version on Spotify. Just a month later, Maria won a contest with Live Nation, One’s To Watch, and Gala Music, performing at Midtown Music Festival in Atlanta, Georgia with the likes of some of her biggest idols including Billie Eilish, Lizzy McAlpine, Fletcher, The 1975 & JP Saxe. Maria has collaborated with the likes of Wayne Wilkins (Natasha Bedingfield, Beyoncé) & Ian Kimmel (BTS, Anderson Paak) on popular songs like ‘Comfortable’ & ‘Scared to Know You’ – vulnerable tracks about falling out of love and the transition of finding love after the fallout.

Maria Alexa is currently working on finalizing a few projects to launch in 2025, including a community called ‘Cherry Avenue’ which will be a place for her fans to feel closer to Maria by getting a behind the scenes look at her songwriting & recording process, new releases, merch drops, and more.
