A SONG STYLIST in her own right, Maria has shared the musical stage with such legendary artists as Nancy Wilson, George Benson, Ray Charles, Earl Klugh, and Ronnie Laws. After a very successful 6 year stint in Asia, Maria relocated back to the U.S. and performed at Sambuca Jazz Café for 9 consecutive years. She and pianist Bill Wilson (son of legendary jazz pianist, Teddy Wilson), held the distinction of being the longest-running act at the Atlanta, GA location. Maria hosts her own live music series (which originated in Hollywood, CA), called #DUETS, featuring artists performing “songs to soothe your soul”. In the most recent 11 years, she has collaborated and recorded with the wonderfully talented pianist/arranger/singer, Noel Freidline and his band, NFQ.

Maria is not only a song stylist and actor, but a very devoted supporter of several charities. Students Without Mothers, where she has served on the BOD and Advisory Board for over 10 years. She also serves as a Board Member of Tosco Music, and supports another important organization called Ava’s Heart.
