At an early age, Maristella convinced her enthusiastic parents to buy a second-hand piano. Rapidly, her talent became evident and at the age of 13 she was accepted at the very selective Manhattan School of Music in New York in both classical voice and piano. It was not unusual though to find the beginnings of Maristella’s songwriting talent scribbled on the corner of her school notes.
“How many girls dream of studying with Mariah Carey’s mother?” Believe it or not, it was simply a last-minute cancellation of a voice student that made Maristella jump at the opportunity to be accepted into Patricia Carey’s studio. After intense and successful training, the master, ironically influenced and tried to convince the student to pursue her Italian roots both as a singer and songwriter. Was it a premonition since Maristella now has an open door with Warner Bros. in Milano to submit songs for international and native Italian star, Laura Pausini?
Maristella has determination to succeed in everything she touches. She loves using the colors of her voice, which travels comfortably through a wide range. Her songs have that power to move and seduce you. Performing on radio and television, singing commercials, appearing in Broadway shows, opening for such headliners as comedian Pat Cooper, recording at top studios, she is always solicited by the entertainment industry.
Trilingual, Maristella has also entertained audiences throughout the world. In Italy, the performance of one of her original songs at the esteemed San Remo Festival was highly-acclaimed. She was also represented at the MIDEM (2003) in Cannes, France.
Politically-passionate, Maristella released 'Read my Bush,' which was a departure from her acoustic style and demanded answers from our current administration. This song received much support and media attention.
Maristella is happy to find out that her latest song 'Day after Day' has become the Official Anthem for a new international campaign to quit smoking created and sponsored by Philippe Valy and the 'My Last Butt' Society. An award is due to be presented to President Barack Obama which will include a copy of the song.
Wishing all much peace and prosperity in the new year,
BU Music

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
GOD WANTED ME TO TELL YOU, It shall be well with you this coming year.
No matter how much your enemies try this year, they will not succeed.
You have been destined to make it and you shall surely achieve all your goals this year.
For the remainder of 2009, all your agonies will be diverted and victory and prosperity will be incoming in abundance. Today God has confirmed the end of your sufferings, sorrows and pain because HE that sits on the throne has remembered you. He has taken away the hardships and given you JOY. He will never let you down.
I knocked at heaven's door this morning, God asked me.. My child! What can I do for you? And I said,
'Father, please protect and bless the person reading this message... '
It has never been broken. Within 48 hours send 20 copies (Or as many as you can - God does know if you don't have 20 people to send it to. It's the effort and intent that counts.) to family and friends.
This is a powerful Novena. Couldn't hurt. Can only help.
