She got in to music because she felt the need to write lyrics about her own life, and to analyze and understand herself compared to other people.
She doesn't preform on any instrument except her voice.
Maria Mena: (on choice of music)) I've always tried to be really honest and really direct and not hide anything.
"My Lullaby" was her first hit single, released in 2002.
