PATIO: Maya de Vitry

Pennsylvania-raised and Tennessee-based, Maya de Vitry first appeared on the folk scene in 2012 as a founding member of The Stray Birds. In 2018, she began to steadily release powerful music under her own name - Adaptations in 2019, followed by 2020’s How to Break a Fall - writing boldly about borders, bodies, abuse, power, and love, with great imagination and empathy.

On January 28, 2022 Maya released her 3rd solo album, which she co-produced with Ethan Jodziewicz over the course of a year in their basement home studio. At once reflective and urgent, and as intimate as it is expansive, Violet Light is an open-hearted invitation to explore the tensions between the visible and the imagined, between love and control, and our unrelenting human desire to belong—to a home, to an environment, and to each other.
