Girl Ultra

Girl Ultra is Mariana de Miguel, a Mexico City-based artist inspired by the 90s and Y2K R&B. This past year she released an EL SUR EP, including several stellar hits like “Punk” featuring Little Jesus. She also appeared on Adrian Quesada’s breakthrough Bolero Psicodelicos recording (and was part of Quesada’s recent Austin City Limits episode on PBS). Though she hasn’t been to SXSW yet, she has made appearances on NPR’s Tiny Desk series, Lollapalooza in Argentina and Chile, and several other prominent tours abroad. With intentions to release a second studio album this year, stakes are high for this up-and-coming artist and SXSW will be great exposure to propel her career forward. – Paisley Porter
