Maya Lavelle is an international singer-songwriter, composer, record producer and music video producer. She grew up in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, she was born in Belgrade, Serbia and currently resides in London, United Kingdom.[1]
She reached number 1 on the Netherlands iTunes charts with three of her songs and peaked at number 27 in the UK Singles Chart. Her debut single "This Ain't the End" was aired on MTV,[2] and was sync and licensed as a film soundtrack. It tantalised fans of The Walking Dead by being linked to giving a clue as to who Negan would kill in the final episode of season 6.[3]
She followed this up with the song "My Summer", for which she was executive producer and art director of the music video.[4] Then came "The Amazon", an ecological call to the preservation of the Amazon rainforest.[5][6] For this she used sound recordings she made of crickets and birds in Brazil. A similar theme continued with her metaphorically titled song "Zombietown" which is set in a post-apocalyptic future caused by the negligence of the human race towards climate change.[7][8]
Her first chart success came with the release of her song titled "Ben" which was featured on BBC Introducing[9] and reached number 1 on the iTunes Top charts in the Netherlands on 19 December 2017. The release of "House on a Rocky Road" cemented her success with another number 1 hit on the Netherlands iTunes charts, whilst this time breaking into the UK top 40 causing Clash Music to call her a "pop icon-in-waiting"[10] with the premiere of her follow up single "Dancing with a Bottle", her third number 1 hit in the Netherlands and her second UK top 40 hit.[11]
She is an independent artist with her own label.[7]
