About Maia

Ever since she was a young girl growing up in Scotland, music has been Maia's love and refuge. 

She started singing at a very young age and her unique voice was first evident when she joined the choir in her local church, where she mastered the art of harmonising.

​

After a successful spell session singing in the 1990’s, song writing became a nightly routine as a single mother after putting her daughters to bed, developing the personal, confessional style that has become her trademark. But it took a few years for her to see herself as a solo performer, having started her performing career in bands including In Bob We Trust and Edenwood, the popular Lewes duo known for their striking harmonies.

​

Her personal lyrics about life and love bring Jackson Browne to mind, while her unique voice is reminiscent of Natalie Merchant and K.D. Lang.

​

Maia has performed at festivals Into The Wild, Hilltop Sessions and supported Icelandic musician Svavar Knútur on tour in Scotland. She also supported Ben Ottewell and John Smith on a double headline bill and most recently Boo Hewerdine.

​

Her EP, 'New Horizons' is out now and she is firmly establishing herself as an exciting and interesting new voice in the indie-folk scene.

​

“Dreaminess, ethereal unique music with grace and a voice from the heart.”

Martyn Barker, music producer
