Ma Troggian is a Brazilian actor, filmmaker, and music maker based in New York. She trained as a DJ at Brazil's School of Electronic Music (AIMEC) before moving to New York to complete the two-year Evening Conservatory at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting.

​

​As an actor, Ma has starred in short films and theater productions across Brazil and the U.S. She played the lead in Mãe do Ouro, selected at Kinoforum, one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world, and in 2025 she played Lucia in the Off-Broadway production of Wedding Dress.

​

Her feature script Foreign was shortlisted for the Sundance Development Track, and her short film The Love of Jupiter — now in post-production — won a 2022 PANO Microgrant and a spot in Open Screenplay's M Film Lab. In 2024, Ma wrote, co-directed, and starred in the queer vampire short The Death Dance.

​

As a musician and DJ, Ma has released four singles, including "Black Money" and "I Want Ur Luv," produced by Oscar-nominated producer Bob Brockmann. She is a recipient of NYFA's City Artist Corps Grant, which she used to curate Make Music Don't Get Killed, a Brooklyn showcase for queer and underrepresented artists, as well as a Guaranteed Income for Artists award.
