Influenced by the rich textures of Venezuelan folklore and shaped by the vibrant pulse of Latin American, Caribbean, and Afro-diasporic rhythms, MPeach (Mariana Martin Capriles) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work seamlessly bridges tradition and innovation. Born in Caracas and currently based in Brooklyn, NY, she works as a musician, producer, vocalist, DJ, and audiovisual artist, creating a unique sound that intertwines electronic textures and strong bass with rhythms rooted in traditional Venezuelan music. Her work challenges static notions of authenticity by engaging with folk traditions as living, evolving forms of expression, preserving cultural memory while pushing boundaries into new electronic territories. MPeach lives in the liminal borderlands of honoring traditional sounds rooted in rich cultural histories and the future of Latin American sound, driven by chasing rhythms that create joy and make people dance.
She has toured across the U.S., Latin America, and Europe, releasing music
with labels like Dutty Artz, Interscope, and her imprint PEACHTOWN. Her tracks have appeared in films like Piedra, Papel o Tijera and shows like HBO's Betty, and she’s performed alongside artists like Arca, Safety Trance, and DJ Babatr, including at the first Boiler Room in Caracas—curated by Arca. Most recently, she was selected to perform at the WOMEX Club Summit in Manchester in October 2024.
As a DJ and performer, MPeach is recognized for her dynamic sets that seamlessly blend tracks from across eras and genres, from Latin classics to cutting-edge experimental club music. Her sets honor the vibrancy of Venezuelan and Latin culture while connecting audiences to the future of
global electronic music.
In addition to her work in music, MPeach has participated in art installations
at BRIC Contemporary Art (Brooklyn, NY), Abrons Center with the Joshua Light Show Residency, One Art Space (NYC), Centro Cultural Chacao, and "Open Call" at The Shed (NY). And has created work as Motion Graphics Artist
and Video Editor with major agencies, creative studios, and brands like McCann, 72andSunny, Picture Farm, Ataboy, Verizon, CocaCola, Microsoft, Mastercard, VH1, Spin, Smirnoff, Laura Mercier, NARS, Revlon, and Academy Award-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o.
Beyond her music, MPeach is a cultural advocate. She champions Venezuelan traditions in the diaspora through events like El Callao Tonight, San Juan NY, and La Parranda Navideña. Through her work, MPeach challenges stereotypes, fosters cross-cultural connections, and creates space for the next generation
of artists.
Currently, her focus remains on evolving the narrative of Latin club music, blending her artistic sensibilities with her deep roots in Venezuelan heritage to craft an immersive and innovative experience for listeners and audiences worldwide.
