JohnAidan “Maberry” Uribe-Kozlovsky is an alternative/indie-pop singer-songwriter hailing from San Antonio, Texas. While studying and becoming jaded with computer science in college, JohnAidan began writing songs and producing in his bedroom. Thus began “Maberry” as he released a series of lo-fi/bedroom-pop singles and EPs that led up to his first album ‘GOLDEN’, which dropped in December of 2022. In the past five years, he has been featured on the ‘idk.’, ‘Tear Drop’ and ‘Fresh Finds’ editorial playlists and accumulated over 15 million streams, and 50K monthly listeners on Spotify.
After taking two years to improve his songwriting and production acumen, Maberry has returned with his sophomore album ‘DUMBO!’, an introspective and absurdly self-deprecating alt pop record centered on reckoning with inner dialogue and relationships. ‘DUMBO!’ signifies the culmination of both Maberry’s songwriting and sound as he combines the exuberant production of his personal inspirations with the intimate, melancholic songwriting of his lo-fi roots. With a sound resembling that of Jeremy Zucker, EDEN, keshi, and Between Friends, ‘DUMBO!’ releases on October 3rd, 2025, marking the triumphant return and revitalization of Maberry.
JohnAidan delicately threads personal voicemail notes throughout ‘DUMBO!’, perfectly capturing the feel of the record, whilst reminding the listener of his unique creative style. Thematically connecting the tracks together, the notes will keep the listener coming back to ‘DUMBO!’ time and time again, as they find crucial new meaning with every single listen. ‘DUMBO!’ represents Maberry’s most personal and ambitious work to date: a self-deprecating exploration of inner dialogue, contradiction, and self-reckoning. Its central artwork, a photo of baby Maberry on a bench in downtown San Antonio reading a Dumbo picture book, captures the strange vulnerability of being put on display, a feeling the album expands into sound.
