Maria Katre (Maria Katre Osler) (pronounced kuh-tree) was raised by her grandparents in the small town just outside Detroit and grew up listening to soul music in her grandma's car. She took a particular liking to the sound of horns and she picked up the cornet in 6th grade and by high school she was singing and playing tuba, piano, and percussion in addition to the cornet and later the trumpet.
After graduating with a degree in Broadcast Journalism from Florida A&M University in 2009 she turned her focus to acting and moved to L.A. where she attended L.A. City College’s Herb Alpert Music Center studying music composition whist taking acting jobs.
Maria played trumpet at Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show as well as on Taylor Swift’s 2014 MTV Music Video Awards performance and Beyonce's Homecoming performances at Coachella in 2019.
On 5 Jan 2023 she released her latest single "Fairweather" which sounded very familiar and discovered that it uses the same sample/backing as Cam Cones' "No Titles" from his EP "For Lost Time" last June.
The only previous material I have found for her is a 2016 single "Smile" although she features on trumpet on a single by Jazzy Rita Shelby "Those Days" from 2021.
She states that she is set to release an EP in 2023.
Thanks to Leigh 'The Flava' Taylor for sending this one over.
