MARi
bio
Soul-stirring singer and songwriter, MARi brings energy and life through her music and style wherever she goes. Whether she’s opening for TobyMac or Hollyn or appearing on TV networks like TBN and JUCE, MARi takes the stage ready to empower her audiences.
Through a painful childhood and a difficult start to her marriage, MARi has maintained a strong faith in God and feels that she is "the poster child for 'if she can make it, anyone can make it.'" After totally submitting to the Lord, she and her husband and their daughter are making strides forward as a family.
Her Latina background provides a strong foundation for her music and her passion. Her debut project, Treasure, became a lifeline for her in 2016 when she struggled with a mysterious ailment that threatened to take her life. MARi prayed and trusted and made it through.
Although MARi's music packs a punch and gets people on their feet, she always aims to make the experience personal. With that heart, after shows, you can often find her on her taco truck treating her audience to talk and tacos. It’s an amazing combination of powerful music and spiritual inspiration all rolled into one unmistakable package.
“When I meet people, they just can’t believe that someone’s so open, and I didn’t think I could be at first, but that was definitely the grace of God,” MARi sums up. “If something’s real and something’s genuine, they tend to like that. They would rather you be yourself than to pretend you’re someone you’re not. It’s okay not to be okay. I’ll never get to the point where I’m cooler than anyone. We all just have to band together and walk in love. A platform can be used just so we can look great, but that’s not what I’m going for anymore. I was honestly prideful before and was even offered a mainstream record deal at one point, but then I got real with God and realized where He’s taken me from and where I’m going. I’m actually in the people business, and the reason why the ‘i’ is lowercased in my name is just to remember where I came from and remember to stay humble. At the end of the day, it’s not just a logo, but a very important reminder to me as well.” Click here to book MARi for your next event!
