Who is Oceana?

Oceana Mahlmann, born January 23, 1982, is a German singer of German/Martiniquen descent. Her musical roots are imbedded in Soul, Reggae, Hip Hop, and Funk.

She was raised by her mother, a German Haute Couture designer. Her father was a DJ from Martinique. The funk legend Maceo Parker is a close family and as a young child she performed with him on stage.
