The lead vocalist for the American indie pop band The Marías has certainly made a name for herself in the music world. Known for their unique blend of dreamy sounds, the group stands out by performing songs in both English and Spanish—showcasing her cultural roots and linguistic versatility. One of their biggest hits, “Otro Atardecer,” has soared past 350 million streams on Spotify, a testament to her growing influence and the band’s widespread appeal. Before all the fame, she met her partner and musical collaborator, Josh Conway, at a small but memorable show at the Kibitz Room—a cozy bar and music venue tucked inside Canter’s Deli in Los Angeles. That chance encounter would go on to shape the course of her career.

Her musical inspirations run deep, drawing from iconic artists like the late Tejano legend Selena Quintanilla, as well as soulful voices such as Norah Jones, Sade, Nina Simone, and Billie Holiday—all of whom have clearly left a mark on her expressive style. Born in Puerto Rico and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, she brings a rich blend of backgrounds into her artistry. Interestingly, her ex-boyfriend Josh Conway was not only a key figure in her personal life but also served as the drummer for her band, further intertwining their professional and personal journeys. Through it all, she continues to evolve as a dynamic frontwoman, with The Marías solidifying their place in the modern indie scene.
