Maria Cordero
- Name: Maria Cordero
- Native name: 肥媽瑪俐亞
- Also Known as: Fat Mama Maria, Maria Corderio, MH
- Nationality: Hong Konger
- Gender: Female
- Born: February 18, 1954
- Age: 70
While working as a hotel telephone operator, she came across the opportunity to learn the bass guitar. The hotel resident band found out and hired her to play at night after she auditioned. For several years, she worked a triple job as a telephone operator during the day, a band player at night, and working as a cashier. But she also worked as a line cook for takeaway contractors for office workers, thus having excellent cooking skills, which led to her having hosted 3 food and cuisine shows.
Maria's singing career began after word spread about her singing ability at a newly opened disco in 1985.
She married the widowed Filipino pianist, 22 years her senior, in the band when she was in her late teens. She is the mother of six children (two boys with her husband, two boys and two girls from her husband's previous marriage).
Her eldest son, Alfonso Bibi Cordero, is a member of the Hong Kong Hockey team, which won the bronze medal in the 2009 East Asian Games. Edit Biography
