Mariska is a classically trained vocalist from Surabaya, Indonesia. She won 3rd prize at Kompetisi Tembang Puitik Ananda Sukarlan, a national classical voice competition in 2011 when she was only 20. She fell in love with art songs ever since and dedicates a major part of her musical career to promote Indonesian literature and modern classical music with Ananda Sukarlan. The EP Ruang Tunggu ('The Waiting Room') is a selection of Sukarlan's simple pieces that Mariska selected to release in hope to introduce modern Indonesian poems and classical music to a larger and more diverse audience. She's currently exploring her own sounds and storytelling through her original pieces.
