MAYA ... MUSICIAN ... ARTIST ... SESSION PLAYER
With a passion for rock and metal MAYA has strived to unite her love of the violin with her love for heavy, dark music of such genres as thrash, NWoBHM, Doom and classic. Discovering Wood Violin’s in 2008 and their infamous flying ‘V’ Viper violin was a god-send and she was immediately equipped with the axe of choice; a custom made 5-string fretted Viper, drop tuned a fifth to include a low F string for added snarl and attitude. Her expressive, unique style of playing combines her Celtic / Indo roots to produce a sometimes haunting essence to any track she plays on.
Classically trained under the careful nurturing of Royal Academy tutor, Erica Grajner…MAYA has gone on to play with various reputable semi-professional orchestras and groups such as Philharmonica Britannica, Whitehall Orchestra and Indian electric Violinist Chandru at the Barbican. She has also studied under the highly acclaimed electric violinist David Cross. Maya has studied at Goldsmiths, University of London.
MAYA has also played and recorded with the rock band 'CalatrilloZ'. She is now focused on writing and recording her own material and is in currently in the studio collaborating with an amazing group of musicians: Daniel Baune (Guitars, Piano, Producer), Grant Eskriett (Drums), Greg Genet (Piano).
