The band's tenure from 2010 to 2018 saw them performing in various venues, from bars to festival stages, sharing their unique blend of music with a growing audience.
After The Stray Birds disbanded in 2018, Maya embarked on a solo career, dedicating herself to crafting a new body of work that defies genre boundaries while highlighting her passion for storytelling and her dynamic vocal abilities. Whether electrifying the crowd with her band or captivating them with an acoustic guitar at a folk festival, Maya's performances are marked by an emotional immediacy and a magnetic presence. Her contributions to music have been recognized by her peers, leading to collaborations with notable artists and bands, and her role as a sought-after co-writer within the vibrant musical community of Nashville, Tennessee.

Her latest work, a 5-song EP titled 'Infinite,' released on October 20, 2023, showcases her evolution as an artist.
