“Maia brings a dynamic new color to Kenya’s contemporary musical landscape. Born and raised in Nairobi to a German/Italian mother and a Kenyan father, Maia’s unique heritage is combined into a fresh sound weaving jazz, funk, folks & blues all sprinkled with Swahili spice.

A traveller at heart, Maia has lived and performed in Berlin, Melbourne, & Dublin. Since returning to Kenya in 2007, Maia has established her current live act, a high-energy 6-piece band that has been making waves throughout East Africa, gracing the stages of prominent festivals such as HIFA (Zimbabwe), Sauti za Busara (Zimbabwe), The Rift Valley Festival, Sierra Jazz Safari, & Blankets & Wine (Nairobi). Maia’s intimate acoustic performances both solo and as a trio have also garnered enthusiastic responses from all over.
