(Maya
Spector)
Cape Town based vocalist and composer Maya
Elizabeth Spector is a rising talent in the South African music and theatre
world. Coming from a culturally diverse, musical family, she grew up in Japan, Swaziland,
America and South Africa. She graduated in 2009 from the University of KwaZulu-Natal
with a Bachelor of Music degree, majoring in jazz performance and music
education.
It is now time to treat Ballito to this
special music on September 15 at Sound Café. Spector will bring a band of
seasoned musicians to the venue, consisting of Llewelyn Chetty on bass guitar,
Phumlani Mtiti on saxophone, Burton Naidoo on keys and Riley Giandhari on
drums.
Spector has appeared on stages around South
Africa in international and South African musicals and she has also been a lead
vocalist and back-up singer with many different music groups and has performed
and recorded with a number of leading South African artists. Her voice has a
texture that might be best described as an old soul, weathered by life and
schooled by adversity, yet still so alive in vocal tone and bubbly in its
expression.
Having recently finished her long-awaited
EP, entitled My Simple Little EP, Spector
is now writing new material and performing gigs in and around Cape Town and
beyond. Her debut solo radio single, Slow
was featured on the Heart fm local chart for four weeks in a row.
