If Kacey Musgraves and Meghan Trainor had a country-soul love-child, the result would be Calgary, Alberta based country artist Mariya Stokes. The Alberta Country Music Associations 2019 Female Artist of the Year introduced herself to the Canadian music scene with two singles in 2019: "Hands on My Body” and "Christmas, Arizona”. A seasoned performer, Stokes has opened for acts including Trixie Mattel, Jann Arden, and Jocelyn Alice. Stokes is also passionate about her community, and is an Artist in Residence at the Women’s Centre of Calgary for 2020.
