Soulful. Eclectic. Raw. All of which describe the atmosphere on stage when graced by Malaysian Singer/Songwriter Maya Hanum as she whisks you away to a different universe for a journey through her music. Maya has been singing professionally for several years and has performed at various private and high profile functions regionally. Her musical approach to singing incorporates theatrical elements in her repertoire, drawing you in with her hauntingly rich vocals and harmonies that bring live to ballads and infuse upbeat numbers with energetic story-telling through her melodies.
Maya traces her musical influences from the greats such as Karen Carpenter, Sade, Celine Dion and also contemporary acts such as June Marieezy (Sundrop Garden), India Arie, AURORA and Jhene Aiko. Often with a smile on her face, Maya’s zest for the stage and performing is infectious. Her musical range covers the genres of Art Pop, Jazz, Funk and Rock, all of which are infused with Soul.
