MARICELLE is an indie Pop R&B singer-songwriter. “the multiverse of you and me” EP is a contemplative and intimate introspection, filled with the tension between the isolation and freedom of being submerged exploration. Building her multiverse ever-evolving with producer Yaffle (@yaffl3), she tests the fragile glass floor separating euphoria and false hope. A constancy pulsates through a landscape of urban sonic textures, blending Pop and contemporary R&B. Electronic beats and synthesizers create a poetically melancholic atmosphere manifested through her dreamy eyes, with hip hop elements creating a symphonic juxtaposition of futurism and retrolution, newness and nostalgia.

Describe the moment you knew that you wanted to pursue music:
I always knew, I loved it since I was a kid. Yaffle helped me find my sound and songwritting was so fun, and cathartic.
How does your heritage impact your art?
Definitely, I grew up in California and am mixed Southeast Asian, (Indonesian and Malaysian), growing up overseas with that Asian element from my family definitely made me see the world uniquely, a unique perspective of how love is.
I live in Singapore now, a dynamic city that is at the forefront of the future. I live at an accelerated speed of city life, but when I have the time and space to unwind, my deeper thoughts delve a lot into the meaning of my life and things I want to be surrounded by. I think a lot about my experiences and draw gratitude from the myriad of experiences I've had.
