Ma Troggian is a Brazilian artist based in New York whose work spans acting, filmmaking, and music. 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.

 

Ma has starred in short films and theater productions in Brazil and the U.S., including the 2025 Off-Broadway production of Wedding Dress, playing Lucia.

 

A self-taught screenwriter, she wrote the feature Foreign, shortlisted for the Sundance Development Track, and the short film The Love of Jupiter, which won a 2022 PANO Microgrant and a spot in Open Screenplay's M Film Lab  — now in post-production. In 2024, she 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 received NYFA's City Artist Corps Grant to curate Make Music Don't Get Killed, a Brooklyn showcase for queer and underrepresented artists, and is also a recipient of a Guaranteed Income for Artists.
