Growing up, Maria played violin for eleven years with a string quartet and all-state orchestra and sang solos in a chorus. She then chose a career in the theater and trained as an actor. Over a fifteen year period, Maria acted on Broadway and television, was featured in plays by Shakespeare, Chekhov and Tennessee Williams, worked in new productions, had roles in soap operas, and did TV commercials. She was also cast by Joseph Papp for the New York Shakespeare Festival's Shakespeare in the Park. The turning point of her professional life occurred when she saw pianist Bill Evans play live. Very important in Maria's career were the lessons that she received from singers Jay Clayton, Sheila Jordan, and Janet Lawson. Over the years, Maria has sung in many clubs with such top musicians as pianists Bruce Barth, Kenny Werner, and Pete Malinverni; bassists Essiet Essiet, Cameron Brown and Ed Schuller; drummers Ron Vincent and Tom Rainey - as well as the musicians featured on Soul Eyes.
