Maria Sierra makes cinematic, blues-soaked, confessional pop for the ones who feel the world in technicolor. A Michigan-born singer-songwriter with decades of performing behind her, the storm has been building. Now it's breaking.
She grew up in rural Michigan, the daughter of community theater devotees, an introverted kid who read books in treehouses and always felt the storm coming before anyone else did. She has been performing since 15, belting out Motown and learning to carry a room by channeling Aretha Franklin in smoky VFW halls.
She released original music as Maria Rose and the Swiss Kicks and later as Boudoir Noir, featured in the Detroit Free Press, with music placements in History Channel's American Restoration and the film Poor Greg Drowning.
After years as a wedding singer and cover artist, the ache got too loud to ignore. She needed more room. To feel it, to scream it, to give it all color. Her debut single Wake Up is a furious, heartbroken anthem about watching America burn while the people in power pretend the house isn't on fire. About rights being stripped. People being erased. A country losing itself.
New Single out now
Her debut single Wake Up is a furious, heartbroken anthem about watching America burn while the people in power pretend the house isn't on fire. About rights being stripped. People being erased. A country losing itself. Built on acoustic and electric guitars and strings, anchored by a voice that is lush, soulful and enormous.
