Maria Okoye began taking piano lessons at the tender age of 4 years old. Her creativity and entrepreneurial spirit led her to playing the piano in church as a child. She served as district youth pianist for the Huntsville District Youth Conference of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church.

Maria's love and passion for music empowered her to obtain a Bachelor of Science Degree in Music Education from the University of Alabama. Her musical journey has taken many paths. She served on staff at Trinity United Methodist Church as the musician for the middle school choir, youth choir and chancel choir under the leadership of pastor John Rutland.

She taught piano lessons and general music classes at Corona Primary School in Bukuru, Nigeria. She served as the church musician for Potter Park United Methodist Church and taught general music classes at the Lyons Elementary School in Lansing, Michigan.
