Mariah the Scientist: From Biology to Bonnaroo Stage

Mariah the Scientist, the biology major turned R&B singer, is scheduled to perform at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival 2026. Her performance is slated for Sunday, June 14, around 8:30 p.m. The festival takes place in Manchester, Tennessee, from June 11 to 14.

Her career took off after she left St. John's University. Discovered by Tory Lanez, she signed with One Umbrella and RCA Records in 2019. She released several albums, including "Master" (2019) and "Ry Ry World" (2021). Her 2023 album, "To Be Eaten Alive," charted on Billboard.

Mariah the Scientist's 2025 album, "Hearts Sold Separately," featuring the hit single "Burning Blue," marked her mainstream breakthrough. This success led to a sold-out 36-city tour in early 2026, spanning Europe and the U.S., with upcoming dates in Australia. She is also set to receive the Billboard Women In Music rising star award.

The singer is also known for her public relationship with rapper Young Thug, with whom she got engaged onstage in December 2025. Her music resonates with fans through its raw lyrics and soothing voice.
