The Amazon Maia Marcella Hazel is Back — And This Time, She’s Armed With a Mic

From Wonder Woman on the Big Screen to Wonder Woman on the Mic

Name a stronger medium of expression than music.

Subtle but loud. Hidden but powerful. Chaotic but comforting.

Connecting people from different corners of the world, reaching lost hearts, communicating with isolated souls—music is, undoubtedly, the soul of this world. Most importantly, it is one of the most powerful ways to sow the seeds of global movements and make a statement in front of the world.

It holds immense potential—and yet, even today, with new songs and melodies released daily, many musicians, singers, and songwriters fail to channel that power in a way that truly makes a difference.

But wait. There’s someone out there who knows exactly how to do it right. Her name? Maia Marcella Hazel.

Yes, that Maia—the one you saw as the iconic Amazonian warrior in Wonder Woman.

Acting since the age of 12, Maia is a true artist. Her expression is not confined to acting alone. Theater, voice acting, film, television—you name it, she’s done it. But at the heart of it all, music is what drives her. Music is what keeps her sane.

Music found me before I found myself. I’ve always written—poetry, lyrics, melodies in my head.” Coming this far—living the life she has and still climbing—has been anything but easy.

It was music that helped her cut through the chaos and the noise, sharpen her focus, and keep steady through every storm.

Acting is part of my expression, but music is my language. It’s how I tell my truth in full volume.”

Why All the Spotlight on Maia? What’s So Great About Her?

What’s great about her? Her ability to turn music into a movement. Need proof? Just wait until you hear her upcoming single, Bitch Please.

Marking her return after nearly a year, the track brings Maia’s raw, unapologetic voice back to center stage. But this isn’t just another anthem—it’s a declaration. A rallying cry. A movement.

Maia has faced discrimination, bias, and unfair treatment for being Latina, Brazilian, and a powerful trans woman. Bitch Please was born from that fire. She wrote it. Produced it. And now, she’s ready to share it with the world.

This track is for every girl who’s ever been told to sit down, shut up, or wait her turn,” she explains. “It’s bold, sexy, political, and rooted in everything I am…

Bitch Please: A Complete Package

Maia’s soon-to-be-released single defies categorization, led by a voice that refuses to be silenced. Recorded in Lisbon and produced in collaboration with underground hitmakers and visionaries from São Paulo to Brooklyn, Bitch Please is going to shake the world—not just through its soul-reaching, heartfelt lyrics, but also through the music video, currently in post-production.

This isn’t just a visual. It’s a provocation.

In it, Maia embodies multiple archetypes: the divine feminine, the street queen, the advocate, the avenger. And through every frame, she’s sending a message to governments and institutions that continue to fail trans people:

We’re not begging anymore. We’re taking. I’ve always dreamed of a moment like this—where I didn’t have to explain myself or ask permission. I write my own music. I direct my own story. I create my own world.”

A Music Powerhouse

It’s easy to call oneself an artist. It takes something more to be one.

Courage. A story. And the fire to transform your voice into art that makes a difference. Adding to this remarkable palette are legendary Brazilian artists such as Cartola and Rita Lee, a huge part of her musical DNA. They are surely a huge influence and play a key role in grounding her work in that rich tradition.

Bitch Please is the latest addition to Maia’s growing music portfolio. From singing in church every Sunday as a child to releasing genre-pushing tracks like Se Assuma, LOSER, and PraDa dolce Bacana, she’s come a long way.

…deep down, music was always the root. It was how I processed my journey—the pain, the power, the transformation.”

No Stress, No Game found its place in queer underground playlists in Brazil and Europe and was featured in independent fashion films and art shows. PraDa dolce Bacana was highlighted in a Rolling Stone feature on trans artists breaking sonic boundaries—making Maia the first Brazilian transgender woman to have a song in the Rolling Stone hit list.

Performing shows in the most important clubs in New York, there’s no stopping Maia in her Golden Era. She performed Bitch Please for an exclusive audience in the best club in New York in Soho, The Gospel Club. Given that Lady Gaga’s career began in the clubs in New York, Maia is on just the right trajectory to become the first trans woman from Brazil to revolutionize the music industry.

Although she sources her inspiration for music from the best—Queen, David Bowie, Britney Spears, and AC/DC—her music is unlike any other; pure, beautiful, and powerful.

Her music has had a significant impact on the world, and her ever-increasing YouTube and Instagram following of almost five million is clear evidence.

But Bitch Please?

This one is solely hers.

After parting ways with her previous label, Maia has stepped fully into her power. No middlemen. No filters. No apologies.

This is the beginning of my golden era… And now, it’s all mine.”
