Bio
Mariah the Scientist (born Mariah Amani Buckles, 1997) is an American R\&B singer and songwriter from Atlanta, Georgia. She is known for her emotional, atmospheric, and alternative R\&B sound, built around intimate storytelling, soft yet expressive vocals, and minimalist, moody production. She originally studied biology and pre-med at St. John’s University, with plans to become a pediatric anesthesiologist before leaving college to pursue music—an origin that inspired her stage name. She began releasing music around 2018–2019, gaining attention with her early EP To Die For and debut album Master (2019), followed by Ry Ry World (2021), To Be Eaten Alive (2023), and Hearts Sold Separately (2025). Her music is often described as confessional and emotionally direct, focusing on love, heartbreak, vulnerability, and personal reflection, delivered through a modern alternative R\&B lens. She has become a rising figure in contemporary R\&B, known for her moody sonic style, poetic lyricism, and cinematic emotional tone, with collaborations and recognition across the mainstream R\&B scene.
