About Mayteana Morales

I am a NY based singer/percussionist/songwriter. I live in Williamsburg. I have been a touring musician for about 14 years. Bands I’ve played or guested with live or in recording include Chico Mann, Easy Star All Stars, Pimps of Joytime, Underground System, Antibalas, Ikebe Shakedown, Bernard Purdie, High and Mighty Brass Band, Jon Ladeau, Kendra Morris and most recently tour with Durand Jones & The Indications. I have my own band called Walk Talk. I am a member of Sound Mind Collective and Womxn Musicians Forum. Most of all I look forward to connecting to other incredible women in music culture and continue building a healthy and safe work environment for us to thrive in.

Mayteana's Experience

Being on the road has helped me see places and meet people I wouldn’t have if I stayed in one place. It has expanded my world views and my understanding of people. I credit those experiences with teaching me how to problem solve and be better at conflict resolution. Also the experience of seeing how a band is run has helped me be a leader in my own projects. Having discussions with my fellow women in music has given me a sense of community and a growing confidence to set preferred standards for myself and those around me.
