Bio
A soulful vocalist and mainstay of the New York City circuit, Mariella
is a name to watch out for. Her poignant lyrics and masterful
songwriting have earned her accolades worldwide including being named
Billboard World Songwriting Contest grand prize winner in 2008, and
John Lennon Songwriting Contest honorable mention. She is also the
co-creator and co-host of one of NYC's longest running and most
critically acclaimed hip-hop jam sessions, Freestyle Mondays. In
addition to holding her nine year residency at Freestyle Mondays, she
has also held long residencies at various clubs in both New York City
and Asia.
All these experiences have cultivated the sound of her debut EP
featuring production by Mark de Clive Lowe, Zeb and Sabo, Dj Vadim,
and Rogue Pop. From the synth-pop heavy "Brooklyn Boogie" to Miguel
Atwood Ferguson's lush strings on "Disappoint" her sound is eclectic,
rich, and all her own. Mariella's remix album will further cement her
as a dynamic artist and a dance floor favorite with remixes by Mark de
Clive Lowe, Rich Medina, JBoogie, Crisis Kid, and DJ Obah.
