Mayah D.

A recent graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, Mayahhas always been a lover of music. The ambitious singer/songwriter discovered her passion at an early age with her late Aunt serving as an inspiration. From then, Mayah began singing in her local community, most commonly at her church. The artist got her first big break on Kelly Rowland’s first season of “Chasing Destiny” on BET. Following the show, Mayah continued to chase her destiny and honed in on her skills, which she showcased while performing with Solange Knowles on NBC's "Saturday Night Live." For as long as she can remember, Mayah has used music as an escape from all the chaos surrounding her, and the summer of 2013 was no different. It was during that summer that she lost a close friend of hers and per usual, music became her refuge. The pain from the loss turned into inspiration for “Anthology,” a song written by her and longtime colleague, Shy Lennox, dedicated to their late friend. In 2016, she poured her sorrow into another song titled, “I miss you” after losing her Aunt. As the ambitious singer she is,is no stranger to the performing part of the artistry. She has showcased as a solo artist at Essence Festival, 2018 SXSW Music festival, Beantown Jazz festival, and headlined her first show in Paris. Mayah’s sound can be described as RnB flow with the perfect hint of neo-soul vibes. She draws inspiration from legends such as Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, Indie Arie, Alex Isley, and H.E.R, to name a few. Mayahis a ticking time bomb waiting for her moment to blow, and she's extending the invite to you as a witness. Have a listen to her debut EP “Elevation,” released November 2017, as well as several other singles, available on all streaming platforms.
