Maya Zita (real name Maya Tisdale) is a singer/songwriter and upcoming artist who plans to bring a new alternative sound to the pop music industry. Originally trained as a classical musician, she uses her experiences in practicing an array of genres such as opera, jazz, and musical theater as inspiration to her performances. She is also a visual artist who creates artwork for her music videos to give them a unique aesthetic
Since 2015, Maya has recorded with many professional producers such as Harrison Fine, Ben Pelchat, and Daniel Zebarth at the Kensington Sound and other studios. She plans to burst into the music scene with the release of her debut single, “Ouija Board”. The singer confides, “I want to use “Ouija Board” to inspire my listeners by empowering them to make the tough choices in life that lead them to a happier life and self,” said Maya Zita. “I want my listeners to understand that no matter how hard life gets there is always a chance for positive growth and change…it’s never too late!”
What began as Maya’s love for horror films and the mysterious events within turned into her debuting her first single. Maya uses the idea of the Ouija Board to tell her story of how she felt like she was the planchet used in the game, and the partner was the ghost who controls where the answers lie. This single focuses on taking your hands off the Ouija Board to gain control of your life even though you lose the person you’re attracted to and the lifestyle it comes with. With an emotional lyrical story, Maya mixes in the electric guitar to create an energetic and upbeat melody to inspire listeners to continue to challenge themselves.
With many songs in the works, Maya wants to promote a message of self-love, abstract expression, and empowerment to her viewers. This marks the beginning of her career as an artist. We look forward to following her career.
The single is now streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, and more.
