Maritza

About

The artist

Maritza is a singer-songwriter and record producer professionally based in Montréal, Quebec. She first reached a broad Quebec audience as Maritza Bossé-Pelchat in the inaugural 2003 cast of Star Académie, then developed a solo catalogue under the name Maritza. Her artist-controlled Bandcamp describes music that moves between indie and world music, with French and Spanish songs shaped by Latin influences and organic arrangements. The exact Spotify identity 2Gce6V7whkj6D21FD7agt3 contains eleven principal album and single containers available in Canada from 2012 through November 2025. Spotify classifies two as albums and nine as singles. The catalogue moves from the five-track Maritza release and the 2017 album Libérons-nous to ¿Quién eres? in 2022, the 2024 singles Je ne sais plus rien and Orphan Girl, and the 2025 collaboration Qu'en est-il de la chance? with Kimi Djabaté. The matching Apple Music identity 1191976625 carries the same current catalogue and explicitly identifies Maritza as a Canadian artist. Maritza's production work is directly documented by artist-controlled release credits. On ¿Quién eres?, Maritza Bossé-Pelchat is credited for lyrics, vocals, co-production, co-arrangement, and co-composition alongside David Thiboutot. The same page credits Maritza and Erika Angell as producers of Para ti, with separate recording, mixing, and mastering professionals named. MusicList therefore includes Maritza in both the artist and producer directories without inferring an engineering role. The latest 2025 release credits Antoine Corriveau for production, so that work is not attributed to Maritza. Current Canadian and Quebec status are independently supported by the 2024 to 2025 Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec public grant appendix, which lists Maritza Bossé-Pelchat as a professional chanson artist in Montréal. The artist-controlled profile also identifies Montréal, Quebec and carries releases through November 2025. Recent professional activity includes a November 2024 Montréal performance built around ¿Quién eres? and a January 2024 Star Académie reunion performance at the Bell Centre. Public inquiries are routed through the Contact MARITZA option on the artist-controlled Bandcamp profile. MusicList does not reproduce direct contact details. Spotify media is displayed only through the provider-attributed live route with a monogram fallback.
