*Nominated for 2009 Best Female Singer and Best Non Traditional Rock Instrumentalist - Hot Rocks TV Show Music Awards.

*Paula Maya is an active member of:
- the Arts 4 Culture - NW Touring Arts Roster.
- the International Musicians Union Association.
- BMI
- a voting member of the National Recording Academy.

Paula Maya is a keyboardist, singer, songwriter, arranger. Recently she's also been playing the guitar.

"I think I went the opposite direction of most musicians. My background is in classical music, and jazz. I couldn't stand listening to pop and rock music when I was a young kid. But fate had a different plan for me. The irreverence of rock and well crafted songs are what inspire me the most these days. Besides Medieval music!"

Born in sunny Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and raised in Copacabana Beach, Paula Maya is asked a lot why she moved to Seattle. "Well, I moved to Texas first, following a friend's invitation. After 4 months in the summer heat of Houston, I moved to the 'MECA' for music, as Seattle was being called during the 90's. In my early twenties I used to dream about living in a cold place, like London. And playing big concerts like the U2 show I saw on TV in Rio!"

Maya studied piano at the Brazilian Federal University of Music and graduated from the Brazilian Conservatory in Music Theory. In Rio she started her career as a professional musician / performer, and shared stages with high profile artists, such as Caetano Veloso, Leila Pinheiro and Djavan.

Paula Maya's songwriting style is unique and eclectic. "My true love is to write songs that help me, and hopefully my listeners, to get in touch with different emotions on a subconscious level, in a fun and deep way. And to move our bodies in the process!"

In the US Maya has opened for, or shared stages with: The Presidents of the United States of America; Tab Benoit; Cyril Neville (Neville Brothers); Vinicius Cantuaria. Some of the venues and festivals that she has been featured at are: Bumbershoot festival and The Triple Door in Seattle, Rose Festival in Portland, San Francisco Gay Pride, Last Concert Cafe in Houston, Texas Jazz Festival in Corpus Christi.

Paula Maya moved to the US to pursue her recording career. Her latest release on Yellow House Records, Paula, was pre-selected for the prestigious TIM Brazilian music awards 2008, AKA the Brazilian Grammies. She celebrated with a show in Rio de Janeiro, and was joined by Grammy winner drummer/producer Teo Lima (Dionne Warwick, Ivan Lins).

DISCOGRAPHY Paula Maya has released four albums. New Perspective, 1995, through Wow Mom Records (Houston), Resurrection - 2003 and Paula - 2007, through Yellow House Records (Seattle). And her EP, Resurrection 1st Half, released independently in 2000, from which the title track is featured in the movie �The Learning Curve�. Some of her songs can also be found in a few CD compilations, including the NorthWest Heavy Hitters series, sponsored by Disc Makers.

Hi Paula,

Thank you for the gift of your music.

I appreciate you putting up with my daft British humour!

May your Love “Glow.”

Paul.

“Candle in the window.”

“A light as pure as an Angels Glow
A gentle breeze sparks a flickering light to Heavens Path.
Through the open window flies a brown majestic Moth
He dances round the table cloth
Fluttering flirtatiously enticed to the flame
Like water to a cloud and flowers in the rain.

An aura of starlight
Glowing embers of radiance so clear
You take away the darkness
The hopelessness, the fear.

Calming, graceful, romancing, dancing on the window sill
A light for my memories
Inspiration for my dreams
A candle by the open window
God Bless the Grace you give me
A moment so serene.”
