Born into a musical family Mataya began singing and playing violin at the age of four. As a teen she picked up piano and began to explore song writing. Surrounded by the live music scene growing up in the Blue Mountains she was heavily influenced by jazz and soul which has led to the unique sound of her debut single 'Fine China' and newest release 'You'. Having collaborated with some of Australia's biggest acts, Mataya has featured on Hermitude's hit single 'The Buzz', and Thundamentals' classic 'Sally'. Keeping herself busy, Mataya is also a dynamic performance member of the upcoming electrifying collective - Haiku Hands.
