Maria Chaos

Founder & Director, Doll Fest

A Bay Area creative, performer, and community builder whose roots in acting, choir, punk, and emo shaped her passion for inclusion and representation in music. Motivated by the lack of diversity she saw in local venues and festivals, she founded Doll Fest, an all-ages, femme-fronted, and femme-produced event dedicated to amplifying underrepresented voices. Since its debut in 2025, Doll Fest has gained national attention, earning coverage in major publications and podcasts. Maria continues to lead with authenticity and purpose, fostering a safe, diverse community that celebrates creativity, collaboration, and empowerment through music.
