Eva Maria is a Mexican-American DJ born and raised in Humboldt Park, Chicago. Deeply influenced by her neighborhood and Poblana background, her love for music began as she explored subgenres of Rap, Hip Hop, Rock, and Cumbia. Although Eva Maria proudly calls herself "La Gabachita Cumbiambera" to celebrate her Poblana heritage, she does not confine herself to any one genre. Before becoming a DJ, Eva found comfort in music and enjoyed creating playlists. In her mixes, she continues to embrace a variety of genres, using them as an emotional outlet to tell a story.
