MAIA

Quiet rooms suit MAIA best. She's a soul singer-songwriter from Bondi Beach who writes her own songs, and her sound sits somewhere between modern R&B and old-school soul, with an interest in the healing side of sound woven through it. It's warm, unhurried music, not a dance-floor covers set. Her performances are intimate and emotional, the kind that make people stop talking and pay attention. She has sung on stages overseas as well as in smaller community spaces at home. Book her for a gallery opening, a wellness gathering, a candlelit dinner or a relaxed afternoon where the music is part of the point.
