"I’ve got my own coach that I only share with a few people. Some might look at me like ‘Dang!’ but listen: I paid my dues.” Maria Brink on her rock 'n' mom, open mic nights and earning In This Moment's seat at the table

In This Moment in 2023.

In This Moment singer and visionary Maria Brink is a survivor. After experiencing loss and abuse in her childhood, she moved to Los Angeles in her early 20s as a single mother and headed to the Sunset Strip, where she transformed her band into a theatrical, arena-filling modern metal behemoth. As the band geared up to release their eighth album, Godmode, we caught up with her to look back on it all, and find out what experiences have shaped her most.
