Life and career[]

1996–2007: Childhood years. The first musical activities[]

Maria Alexandra Florea was born on 11 January 1996 in Bucharest, Romania. She started singing as a child, under the guidance of her mother, who wanted to become a singer.[4] In 1999 she started singing in the Allegretto Children Choir from Bucharest. At the age of seven, she meets her first singing teacher and begins to attend music competitions all over the country. She then attends the Gymnasium School of Arts no. 4 in Bucharest for piano and guitar classes.[5]

2008-2018: «Miss Mary» Period[]

At twelve years old, she meets Mihai Căciulă, who will become her manager. She goes to a studio for the first time and records in 2010 “You Don’t Love Me” under the alias of Miss Mary.[6] Shortly, she signs with a local record label called Red Clover and releases her first music video for “Open”.[7] In 2016 she starts writing songs and becomes an independent artist. In 2017 she releases “Shadows”, her first international song with “It's Different”, immediately followed by “Outlaw”.[8] During this period, she graduated from Caragiale National University of Theatre and Film in Bucharest, an acting speciality.[4]

2019-2021: «Holly Molly» Period[]

In 2019, after one year of failed attempts to work with people and create music, she released “Everybody’s Scared”, her first single as Holy Molly.[9] The next song "Ménage À Trois", a collaboration with the German producer Lizot, became a hit in all western Europe, gathering over 37 million streams on Spotify.[10] Her latest collaboration with the French-Italian duo Shanguy is called “C’est La Vie” and was released on August 6, 2021.[11]
