Ariella Granados (she/they) AKA Sparklmami is a multidisciplinary artist that transcends mediums to build a world untethered to conventional structures. Born in Texas and based in Chicago, Sparklemami introduces us to a new world, engaging us in a story of childhood, memory, and belonging.
Having grown up singing in church, Sparklmami uses instinctual improvisation reminiscent of Brazilian jazz, experimental soul, Mexican bolero, and funk to express the sentient nature of being. Her much-anticipated debut album In This Body is composed of kaleidoscopic vignettes that tap into her confessional subconscious. Sweet melodies and spoken word grace polyrhythmic loops as Sparklmami explores how our perception of the past shapes our present identity.
