New Artist Maria Raquel Drops Album 1 Am Has Family Ties To Jackson 5
Maria Raquel's new album, "1 AM" unveils the depth of her musical prowess. A mesmerizing blend of alternative grit and ethereal vocals, the songs take listeners on an emotional journey of heartbreak and self-discovery.
Introducing Maria Raquel, a musical prodigy whose soul resonates with the timeless melodies of her ancestry. Born into a lineage of legendary musicians, music is more than just a passion for her – it's a legacy that courses through her veins like an eternal rhythm.
NEW YORK - Sept. 14, 2023 - PRLog -- Maria Raquel's new album, "1 AM" unveils the depth of her musical prowess. A mesmerizing blend of alternative grit and ethereal vocals, the songs take listeners on an emotional journey of heartbreak and self-discovery. Her ability to convey emotions with subtlety and depth is captivating. Behind her mellifluous alto chords, bold synthesizers paint a vivid backdrop, transforming her music into an immersive experience that leaves an indelible mark on the heart.
Her musical roots stretch back to her great-grandmother, the incomparable Shirley Cartman, whose stage name, Sheila Carr, adorned marquees alongside the biggest names in the industry such as Tina Turner. An enchanting violin virtuoso with a multifaceted talent, Sheila's prowess extended to the keyboard, alto sax, and drums. As fate would have it, she later assumed the role of a mentor and music teacher for Tito Jackson of the Jackson 5, during their early days in Gary, Indiana. Shirley Cartman's influence on the Jacksons was profound, as she recognized their exceptional talents and had the foresight to put them on one of their first talent shows.
Maria Raquel's grandmother, Nita Riley, emerged as a maestro, mastering the piano, drums, and keyboard. Her band, the Sweethearts of Soul, ignited stages with their soulful performances. Continuing the rich family heritage, Maria Raquel's own mother, Raquel Riley Thomas, proved to be an accomplished violinist and drummer during her teenage years. Maria Raquel's father Ron Thomas played the drums in church at a young age, adding another layer of brilliance to the family tapestry.
Now, Maria Raquel stands as a resplendent, independent artist, ready to make her own mark on the world with her unique sound.
But it's not just the music that sets Maria Raquel apart; it's her commitment to uplifting and inspiring through her art. Eschewing the use of curse words in her songs, she aims to create music that can be cherished and enjoyed by audiences of all ages and backgrounds, transcending cultural boundaries and spreading love globally.
"When I sing…. I sing in a world where there is no judgement. I want people to vibe off my music in their own manner, yet we still connect with one heart," states Maria Raquel.
Maria Raquel's impact on the music industry will be extended beyond her music, influencing fashion and cultural trends. As she follows in the footsteps of her illustrious forebears, the world can now hear the crescendo of her musical journey – a journey destined to leave an indelible imprint on music history.

Amelia Island Brings Innovative Inspiration to Atlanta Sustainable Fashion Week
ATLSFW Atlanta Sustainable Fashion Week announces its partnership with Amelia Island as a sponsor of the 2023 Atlanta Sustainable Fashion Week Student Design Challenge
ATLSFW Atlanta Sustainable Fashion Week announces its partnership with Amelia Island as a sponsor of the 2023 Atlanta Sustainable Fashion Week Student Design Challenge
Atlanta, Georgia (August 28, 2023) – Northeast Florida’s Amelia Island is bridging the Florida-Georgia border to sponsor the Atlanta Sustainable Fashion Week (ATLSFW) Student Design Competition, Fall 2023. The objective of the collaboration is to bring awareness of the impact that Amelia Island’s sustainable tourism efforts have had while also highlighting that future efforts to minimize waste pollution still exist even on one of the most pristine and well-kept islands in Florida.
Student participants will use innovative design methods integrating beach waste and other litter collected on Amelia Island to showcase sustainable fashion creations on the runway of ATLSFW. Three student finalists will show their collections during the Student Design Competition on October 13, 2023. The sponsorship kicks off this summer, with an immersion tour of Amelia Island, including a luncheon with more than 15 local organizations committed to sustainability.
The five-day fashion week highlights private parties, digital designs, educational panel discussions, shopping marketplace and groundbreaking, eco-friendly designers using unconventional materials envisioning the potential of sustainable fashion to an international audience. ATLSFW highlights fashion, culture, art, education, and incredible vendors providing alternative sustainable solutions to your everyday needs.
“As an eco-tourism paradise, Amelia Island is beloved by naturalists, conservationists, and outdoor adventure enthusiasts from all over the world,” said Amy Boek, Vice President, and Chief Marketing Officer for the Amelia Island Convention & Visitors Bureau. “This collaboration is an innovative way to connect with an audience that wants to live - and travel - sustainably. It’s also a great way to repurpose beach waste and encourage all beachgoers to share in Amelia Island’s sustainable practices highlighted in the ‘Leave No Trace’ act to improve all aspects of life.”
Amelia Island’s “Leave No Trace” ordinance was passed in 2016 asking beachgoers to leave nothing by their footprints behind which has proven to be a tried-and-true success in eliminating tons of beach waste. In addition, Amelia Island is now home to 10 hotels certified by the Audubon International Green Lodging Program for meeting environmental best practice standards and demonstrating a strong commitment to water conservation, energy efficiency, recycling, and other green practices. Visitors to Amelia Island can also support local efforts through volunteer opportunities with a variety of environmental organizations.
“Atlanta Sustainable Fashion Week (ATLSFW) is a movement created to provide actionable solutions to eliminating textile waste, reducing carbon emissions, water waste and micro-plastics in oceans. I am excited to partner with Amelia Island to bring awareness to the damage we are doing to our beaches,” stated Tanjuria Willis, Founder of Atlanta Sustainable Fashion Week.
Spots are still available for student designers interested in participating. For more information, visit SustainableFW.com/student-competition.
