Maribelle

From a garage in Melbourne to the jungles of Ubud, 23-year-old Maribelle Añes is a gun-for-hire songwriter that’s ready to blow up as a solo artist in her own right.

Born into a Filipino family in Melbourne’s outer suburbs, Maribelle grew up singing in the local choir. She was exposed to classic rock and pop from her guitar playing father, before her older sister turned her onto ’90s R&B. Janet Jackson is still her dream collab, she says.

Like most musical kids growing up in the 2000s, Maribelle would upload songs to YouTube, but knew she was onto something when one of those songs went viral. Very viral. “It ended up getting 1.5-million views, which encouraged me to keep writing music.”
