Maya Delilah

Maya Delilah’s love of music began at an early age with artists like Prince, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, John Mayer to name a few. When her sister began guitar lessons, Maya first thought about pursuing music herself. From that point on Maya began to relentlessly practice the guitar, always wanting to further her playing and songwriting skills. Maya attended the prestigious BRIT school where she met many like-minded musicians and artistic friends. It was there where she picked up the electric guitar and mixed with a strong community of singers and songwriters, a hub of creativity that she continues to be a part of. This community provides unwavering support and in an industry that can be tough to break into, a trustworthy group like this can only accomplish positive results. At 21-years-old, Maya Delilah is not only a guitar expert but also writes songs of her own, drawing inspiration from artists like John Mayer, Daniel Caesar, D'Angelo, Tyler the Creator, Bruno Mars, and Vulfpeck. Maya released her first EP, “Oh Boy” and Single “Moonflower” independently in 2020, and now has released her second EP “It’s Not Me, It’s You” on October 14th, 2021. Maya’s has a soul-pop sound inspired by experiences and constant daydreaming. Unique guitar harmonies stand out within her music; Maya wants to show that girls can be extraordinary on guitar, combat the stereotype of it being ‘a male instrument’, and inspire young girls to pursue music. Through her Social media platforms Instagram and Tik Tok, Maya has connected with artists and fans across the world, building a strong following that loves her for her music, message and story.
