Biography

Mariana Vega was born in Caracas, the youngest of four siblings. She studied at the Emil Friedman School, and at age 15 moved to Toronto, where at 16 she began to develop her musical career.

Along with her guitar, she began to compose at the age of 19. She graduated from the University of Toronto with a degree in Industrial Relations and Psychology, and decided to dedicate herself fully to music, because she had also taken music classes there, guiding her into this profession. She first appeared at local venues, and then larger rooms.

She visited her native land to attend the wedding of a cousin, and it was there that a record executive listened to her, accompanied by an electric guitar, and asked for a demo, for his later musical production.

During 2011, Vega released two songs to the radio in Venezuela, "Te Segué" and "Pregúntale por mi". [3]

2012-present: Mi burbuja, Te busco, and Latin Grammy
