ArinMaya

ArinMaya is a Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter and accessories designer (ArinMayaMade (in BK)) hailing from the south side of Chicago. She seeks to spread the joy of sound to audiences everywhere and aims to incorporate her commitment to sustainability into her original re- and up-cycled designs. Her vocal and writing styles draw influences from visionaries like Bobby McFerrin (with whom she has studied vocal improv), Nina Simone, Amel Larrieux and India.Arie, and her performances are fertile ground for musical exchange between ArinMaya and her audiences. A lover of many different styles of music, ArinMaya skillfully navigates her way through jazz, folk, hip-hop, soul and electrobeat, blending her warm round tones with her unique sense of wordplay. Her body of work reflects her love for collaborating with like-minded producers and artists, including Nakia Henry, Chaz Van Queen, P.SO the Earthtone King, Maya Azucena, Theimagination, John Robinson, Rich Medina and many more. With a virgo-born determination to achieve each and every one of her dreams, ArinMaya hopes to spread her music to the world. She has performed in cities from Paris to Berlin, from Washington DC to Chicago, and in New York venues including Harlem Stage, Billie's Black, the Shrine World Music Venue, friends' living rooms and more. Her releases include several singles, three EPs - The Sound of ArinMaya, Her Imaginings and ArinMaya Remixed - and one full length album, Let the Love Come.
