Maria is a singer, songwriter, producer, and artist in her pop project ‘DRA-MAMA’. She has recently completed her foundation course at MGK-Sjælland (Music High School Sjælland) and is currently attending ‘Hotstepper Dance-education’.
In 2018, Maria was part of the feminist community for female musicians called ‘She Can Play’, where she attended various industry talks by notable organizations and artists such as Luger (DK’s largest booking agency), Warner Music, CPH. Records, The Arrangement, and P3. She had the opportunity to learn from A&R representatives, radio and TV hosts, CEOs, and established artists and professionals in Denmark, including Pernille Rosendahl, Fallulah, Pelle Peter, HUNSOLO, Sarah Sølvsteen, Karen Vincent, and others. Maria has also received instruction, masterclasses, co-writes, and mentoring in songwriting and production from artists and musicians such as Alex Vargas, Chief One, Barbara Moleko, Soleima, ANYA, Anna Lidell, Carpark North, Kristian Koch, and Ronni Vindahl.
Maria began her musical journey as a child at a small music school in Hillerød. She started with choir lessons and theater, which continued throughout the years in her own projects and her interest in becoming a skilled performer. Soon after, she started solo singing lessons, where she was taught about the anatomy and technique of the body from her first lesson. Maria was later offered a place on the “talent program” and received piano, guitar, and ensemble lessons. She has also received intensive training from instructors such as Nana Fagerberg, Sofie Ziedoy, Sanne Graulund, and Veronica Mortensen.
