Her voice, filled with conviction, is rich and textured - and immediately grabs your attention.

While most of her music focuses on love, she also dedicates a fine balance about relatable everyday struggles that life throws at all of us on any given day.

Maryanne's debut album, "Waking Up," peaked at #4 on the UK Soul Charts, after it was released in 2014. The following year, she clutched the R&B Album of the Year Award at the Na Hoku Hano Hano Awards, and also won the International Pacific Artist of the Year Award in New Zealand for the Vodafone Pacific Music Awards.
