Maya Amolo is a Kenyan singer-songwriter whose music explores love’s complex spectrum through the lens of alternative R&B. She cut her teeth on SoundCloud, collaborating with internet producers to create sad boi tunes including “U Wanna” and “Where Tornados Flew”. Maya’s sugary vocals and soft harmonies quickly amassed her a dedicated listenership and garnered the attention of local producers and musicians. She released her debut project, Leave Me At The Pregame, which takes the listener through a melodious journey of self-acceptance and healing in mid-2020. Her sound has evolved since leaving the pregame as she enters into a new era of her artistry: “I used to think I make the best music when I’m sad and angry but in the past year I realised that I make the best music when I’m honest… and honest can be any feeling”. Maya has established herself as one to watch having been covered by tastemaker platforms NPR, The Native Mag, Okay Africa, Harmattan Rain and TANGAZA Magazine and was most recently announced as Spotify Africa’s inaugural Fresh Finds artist.
