"Intimate, subtle, yet powerful & poignant, singer-songwriter Mariana Bell is a lion on stage, weaving elements of rock, jazz and folk together with her trademark melodies & evocative, passionate vocals.
Hailed for both her songwriting prowess as well as her crystal clear vocal quality and dynamic performance style, she puts on an unforgettable live show.
As she has grown as a songwriter, other genres have picked up on her unique voice; she has broken onto the Electronic Dance Music scene with a force, her first single "Into the Light" with Sander van Doorn, Dubvision and Mako topping the dance charts in its first weeks. Her most recent album will feature more nostalgic rock & pop influences.
The Australian-born, Charlottesville-raised Mariana Bell began singing at age 6. As an alto in the Virginia Consort Youth Choir, she continued to hone her talent for melody and harmony, performing at the National Cathedral and the White House. Soon after moving to New York, she became a fixture at venues from Rockwood Music Hall to CBGB's. A graduate with honors from Tisch School of the Arts at NYU, Mariana has also had a long relationship with the stage. She composed music for & performed in many productions there. A high point was playing solo with some of Broadway's biggest stars, as well as Neil Diamond, at the NYU October Festival, where NYU gave away $1 million in tickets to help Broadway recover from the devastating blow of 9/11 the previous month. She then cut her teeth for many years in Los Angeles forming musical relationships & writing for other artists while continuing to perform and record her own music. More recently, her work as host, performer and organizer of Harmonia: a benefit for Migrant Children & Families has raised thousands of dollars to address the ongoing crisis of family separation and immigrant issues.
Mariana Bell has performed, toured, written & recorded 8 albums with an eclectic set of renowned musicians such as folk legend Ellis Paul, Jazz phenom John D’Earth, Ari Hest, guitarist Mike Meadows (Taylor Swift), pianists Vienna Teng & Josh Dodes (Toby Lightman), Rosi Golan, cellist Paul Brantley (Bela Fleck), guitarists Rusty Speidel (Mary Chapin Carpenter's debut album) & Justin Derrico (Pink), Jean Scofield (Daughter to Jazz Legend John), Jared Scharff (SNL), Andy Waldeck (Scott Stapp, Daughtry), Corey Britz (Bush), Amber Rubarth. Her new album (out in December 2025) features Jordan West & Kurtis Keber (Grace Potter), Zachary Ross, Emily Herndon, Colin Kilallea (Vampire Weekend), created with producer/engineer Eddie Jackson (James Taylor). Recent forays into the DJ world have her writing toplines for Sander Van Doorn, Dubvision, Le Castle Vania, Mako which have allowed for placement in film & tv. "
