Maria Arredondo，1985年七月六日降生于挪威的文内斯拉（Vennesla）小镇。和很多出色的歌手一样，Maria从很小的时候便显露了过人的音乐天赋。她的母亲说她是“从会走路的那天起，就会唱歌了”。她从10岁起就开始参加地区的各种歌唱比赛，成绩颇佳。她用了两年时间慢慢寻找自我风格，然后签订了自己的唱片合同。她可以唱各种各样的歌，从慢而深情的“Cross Every River"到疯狂有力的快歌如“Mad Summer”。是个跨过古典和流行界的歌手。
她的第一张同名专辑请来了诸如Jonas von Der Burg, Espen Lind, 这样的大牌制作人。作曲者也是水准很高，Christian Ingebrigtsen，Silje Nergaard等都为她操刀动笔。这张专辑甫一出世，就在挪威最大的报纸的音乐版上获得了最高的评价。它的销量是白金。第一首单曲“Can let go”于2002年5月推出，名叫她的第3首单曲，与Christian Ingebrigtsen合唱的“In love with an angel”空降冠军，同样是白金销量。Maria的嗓子有些象流行天后Mariah Carey,但是比后者要稍微男性一点点。我认为Maria的声线非常好，性感但不做作，有力但不炫耀，明亮但不过分照人。她的低音很沉，很女人但是又很自立，高音千回百转，闻之泪下。

附上歌词
Cross Every River
As I sit here all quiet
Wonder why we're apart
And the noise from the city
Cuts a hole through the dark
As the nighttime is falling
And the day flies away
Can you hear me I'm calling
Can you hear me, I say
That I would cross every river
I would sail every sea
I would climb every mountain
If it could bring you back to me
I would part every ocean
I would catch every star
I would cross every river
To be right were you are
Baby lower your shoulder
And relax for a while
You been running for ages
You have run all your life
But you know there will always
Be a part of you here
So wherever life takes you
You will always be near
And I would cross every river
I would sail every sea
I would climb every mountain
If it could bring you back to me
I would part every ocean
I would catch every star
I would cross every river
To be right were you are
Many things I should have done
Many miles I should have run
Many fights I should have won
And if the starts fall down tonight
And all is lost no hope in sight
I'm think of you and I'm all right
And I would cross every river
I would sail every sea
I would climb every mountain
If it could bring you back to me
I would part every ocean
I would catch every star
I would cross every river
To be right were you are
