Born in London. Irish/Trinidadian singer/songwriter and daughter of late trinidadian jazz saxophonist/composer Al Timothy ("Kiss Me Honey Honey Kiss Me") Maria played piano and guitar as a child and started writing songs for herself to escape from bullying: "I created a fantasy world for myself with my music, in that world everything was perfect... it gave me the strength & resilience I needed to return to the real world" "Maria's voice has the sensual soulfulness of Nora Jones and Sade sliced with an edge of Fiona Apple/PJHarvey type torment...."

Maria's Debut Album "Her Night At Noon" will be released Nov 2012 "Sades back in town but this time she's half irish"
