NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Oct. 2, 2024) — MŌRIAH — whose Mexican heritage is evident in her work as an actress, producer (music and film), recording artist and songwriter — delivers the first track from her forthcoming LP, due out in 2025.

“‘Hasta Mañana’ brings the dusty sound of a Juarez, Mexico Mariachi band and the classic country tones of Nashville’s finest session players into one magical place. This song is a taste of the two worlds that live inside of me and so many second and third generation Mexican-Americans,” says MŌRIAH. “During Hispanic Heritage month, I wanted to celebrate my lineage through music. It’s only by the sacrifice of my grandparents and parents that I’ve been able to actively work as an artist.”

Produced by Paul Mabury (Lauren Daigle, Sheryl Crow, TobyMac), and co-written with Mabury and Paul Duncan, the track represents the effervescent spirit MŌRIAH embodies.

Of the writing and recording process, MŌRIAH shares, “I was working with Paul in Nashville and L.A. and through the creative process, we shared some of our early demos with a mariachi arranger in El Paso, Texas. His response was this, ‘Country is the folk of America. Mariachi is the folk of Mexico. You’ve found the bridge. And the bridge isn’t as long as you might think!’”

The Los Angeles native has a passion for celebrating individuality, diversity, and culture, and works to tell uplifting stories that highlight and represent women of color.

“From as early as I can remember, every family party, quinceañera and anniversary celebration featured a beautiful blend of country songs, Tejano, regional Mexican and classic Mariachi music. I can’t wait to share this history and heritage with you. Come, join my family and know that you are welcome to take part in a culture that is marked by hospitality, humility and dancing. In the words of my grandfather, ‘La música no tiene fronteras’ which means ‘music has no borders.'”

About MŌRIAH:
MŌRIAH’s work in music and film have been nothing short of influential. After signing with SONY/Provident in Nashville, her sophomore album, BRAVE, soared to #9 on Billboard's CCM Charts, featuring a collaboration with GRAMMY award-winning rapper Andy Mineo.

On the silver screen, MŌRIAH held the starring role in "Because of Gracia" (2017) and portrayed legendary singer Loyce Whiteman in a Ronald Reagan biopic alongside Dennis Quaid (2024). MŌRIAH also made her theatrical debut in “Journey to Bethlehem," a cinematic musical starring Antonio Banderas which premiered worldwide in November 2023 through Sony Affirm. Currently, she graces the small screen as Bathsheba in the television series "The Chosen" (2023).

MŌRIAH's influence extends beyond acting and music. MŌRIAH co-hosted the highly successful podcast "BECOMING:us" on K-LOVE/AccessMore alongside her GRAMMY Award-winning husband, Joel Smallbone, with whom she also co-produced the Lionsgate film "Unsung Hero," released in 2024.

MŌRIAH lives in Nashville, Tennessee, where she recently wrote and produced her latest EP, Curtain Call. Her dedication to artistry and commitment to a positive message continue to shine through, as fans follow along with a creative career that transcends boundaries and genres.
