After escaping from her straight dude suburban life, Maria Konner moved to San Francisco to be reborn! She explored and then rocked the city for over 15 years. Moving to New York inthe summer of 2022, she joined the performance scene infusing the jazz/blues/cabaret piano and rock nightlife with her own signature "fabulous" style, singing, playing a score of instruments, and contributing a cavalcade of original songs and more.

"I don't have the 'gay gene' - I have the trans & kink genes when it comes to music and pop culture," she jests in her trademark powerhouse voice; "At the piano bar, they expect Judy Garland, but I give them Sweet Transvestite, Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath."

Originally from just outside of New York, Maria's love of the unique, authentic, and colorful started with her spending a large part of her childhood in East Africa, The Middle East, and the United Kingdom, and filling her alone-time with books and science documentaries while noodling around on the piano in the hotel where they lived in Nairobi.

Today she can be found at New York's hottest spots.
