Known for her charmingly conversational phrasing and remarkably vibrant voice, Maria Schafer dwells within the realm of jazz to connect with audiences of all ages, especially those intent on getting the most out of life.

Her latest album Here For You features her catchy and heart-baring originals, complementing her songbook of reimagined standards, Brazilian jazz, curious arrangements of pop tunes, and more.

Drawing influences from folk and world music cultures most often spanning South America and Africa, you can find her dancing onstage while playing with some of the best instrumentalists around Los Angeles and elsewhere.
