For episode 5 of season 2 we catch up with Maya de Vitry. I first came across Maya in her time with The Stray Birds. They were playing a midday concert series put on by Berklee and I strolled over to eat my lunch and catch a tune or two. I ended up sticking around for the entire set. The band was excellent, but there was something that just stuck with me about Maya’s voice. She has a tone and timbre that is purely her. No one else sounds like Maya. Its undeniably unique and intriguing.
Maya recently released a brand new record titled “Violet Light”. Its a beautifully collaborative collection of songs recorded during the pandemic. Two things that usually wouldn’t be in the same sentence but Maya was able to find a way to craft a wonderful record around that sentiment.
Check it out and get “Violet Light” today.
