Mar Fayos is a jazz fusion vocalist from Barcelona, Spain, who graduated in 2018 from the Berklee College of Music with a Bachelor of Music degree in vocal performance. As a Berklee student, she participated in several projects involving distinguished international artists such as Brazilian composer Toninho Horta, four-time Grammy-winning bassist Oscar Stagnaro, the famous Mexican bolero composer Armando Manzanero, and the outstanding vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater, among others.

Fayos is the recipient of the college's Mili Bermejo Scholarship and Professional Music Academic Excellence Award. She earned a scholarship to attend the LAMC Conference in New York City (2019 and 2020), attended the NAMM Show in California (2020 and 2021), and was selected to be part of Antonio Sanchez's residency in Mexico (2020).

Fayos is a member of professional associations including BMI, the Latin Grammy Academy, SoundExchange, Mujeres de la Industria de la Música, and Associació de Músics de Jazz i Música Moderna de Catalunya. She recently performed a concert in Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid that featured artists such as Mariza, Pitingo, Arcángel, Ainhoa Arteta, El Piraña, Javier Limón, and La Mala Rodríguez, among others, and recorded videos with Casita Limón for Sony Music Latin.

She recently released her first album of original music, Mi Propia Religión, focusing on her personal approach to jazz fusion with Latin and Mediterranean roots and pop and soul influences.
