Maia Reficco: Movies & Box Office

Maia Reficco is an American‑Argentine actress and singer who first captured audiences with her breakout role as Kally Ponce in the Nickelodeon Latin America original series Kally's Mashup. Born on July 14, 2000 in Boston, Massachusetts, she moved to Buenos Aires at age four, where a musically‑rich family nurtured her early talents; her mother Katie Viqueira is a professional vocalist and vocal‑coach, while her father Ezequiel Reficco teaches at the University of Los Andes. From a young age Maia displayed a prodigious aptitude for several instruments—including guitar, piano, saxophone and ukulele—and spent eleven years training in acrobatics, which contributed to her dynamic stage presence. At fifteen she traveled to Los Angeles, living with songwriter Claudia Brant, and honed her vocal technique under renowned coach Eric Vetro, later attending a five‑week program at Berklee College of Music where she earned a scholarship for her exceptional performance. Her career launched when Brant helped her upload cover songs to Instagram, leading to an audition for Kally's Mashup with Ariana Grande’s “Dangerous Woman” and securing the lead role; the series also spawned a successful soundtrack released through Deep Well Records. Maia’s growing fame earned her spots on the Kids’ Choice Awards stages in Argentina and Mexico, where she performed songs such as “World’s Collide” and “Unísono” alongside cast members. In 2022 she transitioned to English‑language projects, appearing in the Netflix film Do Revenge and starring as Noa Olivar in HBO Max’s Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin. The following year she made her Broadway debut as Eurydice in Hadestown, sharing the stage with Jordan Fisher. Openly queer, Maia has spoken publicly about her relationship with actor Tom Francis, and she continues to develop solo pop and R&B material, aiming for an all‑English debut album. Her multifaceted artistry, bilingual background, and commitment to representation make her a standout talent in contemporary entertainment.
