Maya's Experience

I studied at Berklee College of Music, got a degree in Music Business and Songwriting. I’ve been performing and creating original music for 12 years now, and being an official artist for 6 of those 12. I’ve toured with bands, recorded in countless studios around the east coast, and booked venues that have seated more than 900 people. I’ve held positions such as Vice President of a label, head A&R, and music administrator. All of these things helped me gain experience and I’m currently ready for my next big step!
