Singer-songwriter Maggie Cubillos is currently a senior at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. The 21-year-old Colombian/Cuban/American vocalist, who hails from Hermosa Beach, is releasing a new single “Slow Motion” on July 28.
The track was recorded with producer Steve Ornest this past spring and features Aaron Mastin (Donald Brown, Brandy) on keys and Charlie Paxon (James Blunt, Liz Phair) on drums.
Maggie says, ““Slow Motion” is for everyone who’s been scared to move on. It’s scary to acknowledge the end of a chapter and move forward but there is no set timeline for that. I think society pressures us to feel like we should be at a certain place in our healing process when in reality that looks sooo different for everyone. Healing isn’t linear and writing this song helped me realize that and understand that growth takes time. “
To celebrate the release of “Slow Motion,” Cubillos will play a show at The Hotel Cafe on Thursday, July 27. Tickets available HERE.
Maggie has spent her entire life performing, including stints at the prestigious A Cappella Academy, and the nationally recognized Legacy A Cappella group. The former National YoungArts Foundation finalist continues to hone her craft through various projects, collaborations, and live gigs. See upcoming dates below.

Cubillos’ songwriting is intimate and raw and demonstrates a deep understanding of the human experience that extends well beyond her years.
Maggie’s first single, “Old Shoes,” was released in November 2022, and was produced by Steve Ornest (who also plays guitar on the track) at LA’s Total Access Recording (Black Flag, No Doubt, Guns N’ Roses, Sublime) along with bassist Matt Rubano (Taking Back Sunday, Outasite, Lauryn Hill) and drummer Rob Humphreys (Kacey Musgraves Jason Mraz, Elle King).
