Mariah Buckles, known professionally as Mariah the Scientist, is an American singer-songwriter. She is signed to RCA Records and Canadian rapper Tory Lanez‘s record label One Umbrella. Mariah has been traveling under the radar for quite some time but she’s catching stardom with her latest drop, “Ry Ry World”.
A little bit About Her
Mariah Buckles was born in Atlanta, Georgia. She graduated high school a year early and attended college in New York City, but later dropped out to pursue music.
Mariah discovered singing when she joined her elementary school chorus. She began writing songs while attending St. John’s University (the same school as me!) in New York on a biology scholarship, an interest to concentrate on her music career. She released her debut EP, the six-track To Die For, on SoundCloud in January 2018. After that, She released her debut studio album Master, on August 23, 2019.
She released her debut on the label, the ten-track album Master, on 23 August 2019, executive produced by Tory Lanez. The debut single, “Beetlejuice,” made NPR‘s Heat Check weekly roundup in August 2019, and the video for the track “Reminders” premiered on Complex on 21 August 2019.
Her touring schedule in 2020 includes bookings at Coachella, Primavera Sound, and Pitchfork Music Festival. On May 22, 2020, Mariah released the single “RIP”.
Why Album of the Week
I’ve been a fan of Mariah the Scientist. However, I’ve been waiting for her to drop something that would really click with today’s trending sound. Now you can hear the elevation in her sound and see it in her brand. I love it! Ry Ry’s World is the perfect culmination of today’s R&B, mixed with the singer/songwriter edge of the indie industry.
