Pinay Jazz Veteran | Maria Katindig-Dykes
Maria hails from one of the Philippines' most renowned family of musicians, the Jazz and Latin performers know collectively as the Katindig clan. (Her father is the legendary Pilipino Jazz pianist, Romy Katindig.)
In the family music business since the age of 16, Maria has performed a wide variety of musical styles, but her true passion is for jazz and bossa nova.

Maria has also left a mark as a local artist in the Southern California region with performances at the Silver Screen Jazz Club at the Hyatt on Sunset in Los Angeles, CA, alongside internationally renown jazz artists Tal Farlowe and Barney Kessel.
