Graciela María was born in 1984 in Baja California, Mexico. She studied Dramatic Art in Mexico City and later studied piano. But the most important thing is that Graciela sings and composes. She sings since she was a child and it is that naturalness that is preserved in her work. In 2007 she began her musical career in Mexico singing for the electronic music project Signal Deluxe and in 2009 she moved to Berlin, which became her home for ten years. Upon arriving in Berlin she began to collaborate with producer Robot Koch and cellist Simon Houghton aka Sneaky. During this time she participated in international festivals such as Sónar in Barcelona, Robot Festival in Bologna Italy, Berlin Next at La Gaîté Lyrique in Paris, Pazz Festival and Fusion in Germany, Indie Earth and Magnetic Fields in Chennai and Rajasthan India. Graciela has released 4 solo albums and many others in collaboration with international artists such as Lukasz Polowczyk, Long Arm, Lars Thorwald and Silent People. Graciela's work not only focuses on the musical field, but she has also put her voice and her music at the service of installations, performances and paintings, collaborating with visual artists such as Vanessa Enríquez, Gesa Johanna Roskamp and Maki Shimizu. The popularity of the Day of the Dead was unleashed in Berlin with Graciela María being a creative meeting point for five consecutive years, performing in ephemeral and emblematic places of the city such as Platoon Kunsthalle and Stummfilmkino Delphi. Since 2020 she has been teaching the workshop 'Women in Music', making the work of Western classical music composers visible from a gender perspective and since 2019 she has been teaching somatic singing workshops, where through sound and vibration she opens a space for exploration , sharing the healing virtues of the voice. Currently Graciela lives in southern Mexico from where she continues to create and explore the simplicity of the day to day and the moment in her singing. Graciela's music is constantly evolving, looking for new ways of expressing herself, much more focused on exploring the sobriety of her sound and the depth of her voice, while at the same time, the presence of contrast and vibrance when creating through honesty and spontaneity. For Graciela there are no second takes, in her latest musical studio work, improvisation and the realness of the moment is what has remained for posterity. Show less «
