Maria Revilla was born in La Coruña, a small city in the north of Spain. After completing her education, Maria decided to move to London to expand her horizons. After graduating in Business Administration with Fashion, she decided to pursue a career in music as a recording and performing artist.
Maria performed at town halls, community events, and theatres as well as at fundraising events such as Children in Need, Comic Relief and at the Duke of Edinburgh Awards show in Hyde Park. Other performances included sharing the stage with Edwin Star at Walthamstow Assembly Hall, and a TV appearance at BBC’s Lottery Live with The London Community Gospel Choir. Maria also taught vocal performance at various community centers and colleges, including the Carlton Center-Brent Adult Education, Islington College, The Arts Factory, and Elders Voice.
As a recording artiste Maria recorded the cover song "Let Me Be Your Angel," which featured in a Mafia & Fluxy reggae compilation album titled "Music for Lovers, Vol. 5" released in 2015, alongside artists such as Gregory Issacs, Sugar Minott, Al Campbell, Jonny Clarke and John Holt.
Maria recorded her debut album "The Sound of Your Guitar" in Kingston, Jamaica in 1997 with the legendary record producer “Niney the Observer”. She also co-wrote and recorded a duet with Freddy McGregor titled “Love has no Color” initially released in 1999 in UK, and later added to her debut album released in April 2019, through the main digital platforms and streaming services including Amazon, iTunes, Spotify and Tidal.
Maria moved to New York in 2010. She sang in hospitals with the organization Musicians on Call, took part in independent music projects, and joined St. Francis of Sales church choir. It was during her time singing at her church that she felt inspired to go back to college to study music.
