About the Artist
Maria Sanchez, also known as Groovy MS, is a Chicana artist from Riverside, CA. Her sound perfectly encapsulates “That Soulful Love Type of Music” with a blend of her favorite genres: oldies, soul, and funk. Through her music as a singer-songwriter, she aims to create a sense of tranquility and nostalgia that allows one to reminisce. In late 2022, Maria formed her live band, "The Midnight Groove" which consists of the following talented musicians: Jasmine Sanchez (Vocals), Esteban Reynaga (Guitar), Robert Acosta (Drums), Vincent Stevens (Bass) and Jacob Sahagun (Keys).
