MARIA ISA
Maria Isa is a singer, songwriter, actor, rapper, activist and international recording artist born in Minnesota to NuyoRican parents. Raised in St. Pauls West Side, Maria soaked in Latin American culture and channeled it into performing arts and activism. Her first foray into performance was with El Arco Iris Center for the Arts program in St. Paul where she quickly transformed from student to teacher as she honed her craft at an early age. At age 15, Maria formed the AfroLatino ensemble Raices, whose mission was to conserve ancestral Puerto Rican heritage through folkloric music and dance. Along with the formation of Raices, Maria co-founded the Sota Rico, LLC, which has served as a launch to help develop, promote and represent Midwest Latino Hip Hop.
Currently, Maria is a writer for the Star Tribunes Voices column, and was recently the only performing artist featured in Chicagos Latin Fashion Week and the New York City Viva Latino Film Fest. Whether its impressing an audience with her passionate vocals, attitude infused raps, virtuoso percussion work, or astute sociopolitical commentary, Maria continues to leave her mark.
