Maria Ellis

Maria Ellis is a bold Pop/R&B powerhouse – a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer whose standout voice and fearless storytelling are carving space for a new kind of pop star: one who confidently embraces power, sexuality, and strength on her own terms. A graduate of Berklee College of Music, Ellis began her musical journey at age six, teaching herself piano and writing original songs. Maria gained early traction on TikTok in 2020 with her viral self-written verses amassing over 8 million views and 100,000 followers across social media. Since then, she has built a devoted fanbase, earning comparisons to the likes of Ariana Grande and Rihanna. Additionally, her music has appeared on major editorial playlists and charted globally. Highlighted by prestigious outlets such as Rolling Stone, Ones To Watch, and many more, her sound has been described by Digital Journal as “hypnotic Pop that’s steamy, sultry, and exhilarating.” In May 2025, Maria released her long awaited debut EP Ultrabaddie to critical acclaim. The project explores themes of confidence, female empowerment, love, and loss, blending pop and R&B production that highlight Maria’s dynamic vocals and vivid lyricism. One of the very few female pop artists who writes and produces her own music, Maria brings her vision to every part of her sound. Her next chapter of music includes her recent singles, Lucky and Relapse, all a part of a bigger story detailing the emotional arc of a relationship.
