Mariela
Trans indie pop artist, songwriter and producer. 🏳️⚧️
📍San Diego, CA
mgmt: @raspberrymanagement

The Underglow tells the story of the last four years, my divorce, my transition, my move to California. My absolute brokenness from the lowest point of my life, to today, the highest and happiest I’ve ever been. Even though our government tries to define trans people as radical violent extremists and mentally ill, this record tells a different story. It’s the tale of true joy, found only in a life of authenticity. I am happy and The Underglow is here to prove it.
So many people came together to support this album and create it with me. Here’s a list of just a few of its wonderful contributors.

Already looking back at Bellingham and smiling. Thanks so much to everyone who took a chance on a bunch of rando queers from out of town and came to sing and dance and make a memory I’ll cherish for a lifetime. And thanks Martjin for investing in the community with the whole mission of @blueroombham

I matched with this woman on a hinge and one night she sent me a video of her super high and singing Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl). It stuck in my headed weeks later when I was writing.

Playing with @thesaintmisty and @eliselunab last night for the @mcasandiego Avant Garde Ball last night was so special. Grateful for the chance to support the arts in our community, especially at a time when @mayortoddgloria is trying to slash them with his absurd budget proposal.
(How is @tyfoxphoto so freaking good???)

Hey Pacific Northwest, I’m coming back and I’m bringing friends! So excited to tour with @thesaintmisty and @erikalundahlmusic in two weeks!!!
Hey! My name is Mariela and I’m a #trans #indiepop artist. You’re probably wondering how I got here. Well, I grew up in Alabama. We went to church every week, even on vacation. Then I got married when I was 24, like a good Christian kid who couldn’t wait to have you know what.
About 7 years later I realized I was a woman and got divorced, but I kept writing songs. Now I live in San Diego and write songs about transitioning, love and divorce and leaving the church. You’re actually listening to one of those songs right now.
Der Instagram Story Viewer ist ein einfaches Tool, mit dem Sie Instagram Stories, Videos, Fotos oder IGTV heimlich ansehen und speichern können. Mit diesem Service können Sie Inhalte herunterladen und offline genießen, wann immer Sie möchten. Wenn Sie etwas Interessantes auf Instagram finden, das Sie später überprüfen möchten, oder Stories anonym ansehen möchten, ist unser Viewer ideal für Sie. Anonstories bietet eine ausgezeichnete Lösung, um Ihre Identität zu schützen. Instagram hat die Stories-Funktion erstmals im August 2023 eingeführt, die schnell auch von anderen Plattformen übernommen wurde, dank ihres fesselnden, zeitlich begrenzten Formats. Stories ermöglichen es Nutzern, schnelle Updates zu teilen, sei es Fotos, Videos oder Selfies, ergänzt durch Text, Emojis oder Filter, und sind nur 24 Stunden lang sichtbar. Dieser begrenzte Zeitrahmen sorgt für eine hohe Interaktion im Vergleich zu regulären Posts. Heutzutage sind Stories eine der beliebtesten Methoden, um sich in sozialen Medien zu verbinden und zu kommunizieren. Wenn Sie jedoch eine Story ansehen, kann der Ersteller Ihren Namen in seiner Viewer-Liste sehen, was ein Problem für die Privatsphäre sein kann. Was ist, wenn Sie Stories durchsuchen möchten, ohne bemerkt zu werden? Hier wird Anonstories nützlich. Es ermöglicht Ihnen, öffentliche Instagram-Inhalte anzusehen, ohne Ihre Identität preiszugeben. Geben Sie einfach den Benutzernamen des Profils ein, das Sie interessiert, und das Tool zeigt dessen neueste Stories an. Funktionen des Anonstories Viewers: - Anonymes Browsen: Sehen Sie Stories, ohne in der Viewer-Liste zu erscheinen. - Kein Konto erforderlich: Sehen Sie öffentliche Inhalte, ohne ein Instagram-Konto zu erstellen. - Inhalte herunterladen: Speichern Sie beliebige Story-Inhalte direkt auf Ihrem Gerät für die Offline-Nutzung. - Highlights anzeigen: Greifen Sie auf Instagram-Highlights zu, auch über das 24-Stunden-Fenster hinaus. - Repost-Überwachung: Verfolgen Sie Reposts oder Interaktionen bei Stories für persönliche Profile. Einschränkungen: - Dieses Tool funktioniert nur mit öffentlichen Accounts; private Accounts bleiben unzugänglich. Vorteile: - Datenschutzfreundlich: Sehen Sie sich beliebige Instagram-Inhalte an, ohne bemerkt zu werden. - Einfach und unkompliziert: Keine App-Installation oder Registrierung erforderlich. - Exklusive Tools: Laden Sie Inhalte herunter und verwalten Sie sie auf eine Weise, die Instagram nicht bietet.
Behalten Sie Instagram-Updates diskret im Blick, schützen Sie Ihre Privatsphäre und bleiben Sie anonym.
Sehen Sie Profile und Fotos anonym an, ganz einfach mit dem Private Profile Viewer.
Dieses kostenlose Tool ermöglicht es Ihnen, Instagram Stories anonym anzusehen und dabei Ihre Aktivität vor dem Story-Ersteller zu verbergen.
Anonstories ermöglicht es Nutzern, Instagram-Stories anzusehen, ohne den Ersteller zu benachrichtigen.
