MAYABAYU is a Malaysian singer-songwriter based in Glasgow, Scotland. Growing up in the coastal state of Sabah, Maya found herself developing an early passion for songwriting, penning her first song at only 11 years old.
Over the course of her career, Maya has gathered various acclaim for her work including the Global VIMA Award for "Overall Best Female Artiste", as well as becoming the sole female finalist in Malaysia's inaugural Levi's Music Project.
From early beginnings marked by dabbling in the folk-songwriter realm followed by finding a home in her unique sound of fusing synth-pop with East Malaysian tribal elements, Maya's latest single "things i can't forget." reveals an exciting new chapter of her artistry.
Sparking the prelude to her heartbreak era, "things i can't forget." is the singer's undiluted foray into the trendy and relatable waters of pop music today – all while maintaining a charm and fire that is undeniably MAYABAYU.
