She currently lives in Nesna. Maria is reported to experience synesthesia, which leads her to see colors when she hears the music.

She said, 

"I don't know what life's like without it, as I've always had it. As I've gotten older, I've seen that it has definitely been a bonus in terms of what I do. When I started to play guitar, I made this colour sheet for all the chords. I didn't know what they were called, but I knew exactly what colours and shades they were. So I made songs with colour palettes, which was really cool."
