WHEN YOU SMILE

ABOUT
Maruja is a Dutch-Caribbean born professional recording artist, whose expansive musical career has brought her to the Americas and Europe. With multiple singles, various collaborative recordings, and three solo albums under her belt, her hard work has been awarded with distinctions including ‘Best Female Vocalist’, ‘Best Song’, and ‘Best Album’.
Her last solo album, the critically acclaimed ‘Azuca’ released worldwide on Universal Music and Red Bullet, showcases her broad range of vocal ability that, though most at home with soulful power-ballads, can easily navigate other genres such as Latin, Jazz, Pop, and Gospel.
Following her successful return to the music industry after a hiatus, with her Christmas single ‘Little Drummer Boy’, Maruja now brings her most personal song to date to her audiences worldwide. ‘When you smile’, written by Stephanie Bentley (‘Breathe’ – Faith Hill) and Rodolfo Castillo, shares the intimate story of the power of a smile, and its ability to lift us out of the darkest places. Its message is one the world needs to hear... now more than ever.
