MARiA

MARiA (メイリア), also known by her former stage name Mai Mizuhashi (水橋 舞), is a Japanese singer and performer from Ibaraki Prefecture. She first attracted attention through vocal and dance performances on video-sharing sites, where her stage presence and performance style helped her stand out among emerging online artists. Her early career also included work as a guest vocalist at live concerts for Jin (Shizen no Teki-P) and other artists, a role that helped establish her reputation as a strong live performer. Before joining GARNiDELiA, she was a member of Chix Chicks, and that experience marked an important step in her professional growth and visibility. MARiA is best known as one half of GARNiDELiA, the duo that introduced her voice to a wider audience and strengthened her connection to anime-related music. Through that project, she became closely associated with the broader landscape of Japanese pop and anime-linked music while maintaining the energetic identity that first drew attention online. Her career shows a clear progression from online popularity to an established place in Japanese pop culture. Combining strong vocals, dance performance, and a consistent stage image, MARiA has built a profile that appeals to listeners searching for both her work and her role in GARNiDELiA.
