Hire: The Marías
Led by the enigmatic, bilingual singer María Zardoya and drummer/producer Josh Conway, the Marías are an indie pop band celebrated for their smooth blend of psych, jazz, Latin, and lounge influences. After making a name for themselves on the Los Angeles club circuit with their sophisticated sound, they released two EPs, Superclean, Vols. 1-2.
The core duo met at a Laurel Canyon Music Revival event, where Puerto Rican-born Zardoya was performing an acoustic set, and L.A. native Conway was running sound. This meeting sparked a creative and romantic partnership that became the foundation of the band. They later added lead guitarist Jesse Perlman, bassist Carter Lee, and keyboardist Edward James, creating a rich sound characterized by breezy bossa nova rhythms, light funk, psych, and dreamy pop, first showcased in their 2017 EP, Superclean, Vol. 1.

With vintage Hollywood-inspired videos, they quickly gained attention, toured with Albert Hammond, Jr., and played at Coachella. They released Superclean, Vol. 2 in September 2018.
After releasing several singles, the Marías signed with Atlantic Records and released their Grammy-nominated debut album Cinema in 2021, which peaked at number 176 on the Billboard 200. A high-profile feature on Bad Bunny‘s chart-topping 2022 album Un Verano Sin Ti, significantly boosted their visibility. They spent much of 2023 working on collaborations with artists like Cuco, Eyedress, Tainy, and Young Miko, while also recording their second album. Released in 2024, Submarine reflected a matured sound and explored themes of isolation and solitude. The expanded fan base helped the album reach number 17 on the Billboard 200.
The Los Angeles-based indie band, The Marías, are celebrated for their bilingual songs and retro sound, blending Latin, R&B, and jazz influences. Frontwoman María Zardoya, who co-founded the band with drummer/producer Josh Conway in 2016, inspired the band’s name. They debuted with the Superclean, Vol. 1 EP in 2017.
Their 2018 single “I Don’t Know You” became their first song to receive commercial radio play, reaching No. 16 on Billboard’s Mexico Ingles Airplay chart. That same year, the group headlined the Ones To Watch tour, a showcase for emerging artists selected by writers of the blog with the same name.
