Born in West Africa, first her love of art and music were heavily influenced at an early age by world artists such as Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, Angelique Kidjo & Sade Adu.
Her form of musical expression, started out as just thoughts written down on paper. As her love for sound & harmonies grew, she wrote music solely for herself, often times as a way of escape. The personal tone of her music and songwriting lends itself to the subjective poetry of the artist now known as Maria Bentley.
Maria Bentley's music can be described as a soulful exploration of Breakbeat, Pop, HipHop, Jazz and Funk. Having worked with several upcoming producers and penning a catalogue of songs, her first single "Dont Wanna Talk" produced by renown Denver producer "Boonie Mayfield" was released in 2008, gaining her a solid following.
The singer and songwriter is currently writing and co-producing her EP and plans to share much of her music with as many that are, or soon to be, true lovers of music.
"I love music, in all it's form. I could listen to a bass guitar, I could hum to a breakbeat, I could sing to a dripping tap - they are all musical instruments to me. My instruments are my soul, my pen and my voice. Add them all together and you get wonderful music - and that's just grand. That's a beautiful thing." - Maria Bentley
