Long bio · 200 words
Maya Okoro grew up between London and Lagos, writing songs on a borrowed guitar and singing in her aunt’s church choir. She released her first EP, Velvet Hours, in 2024, recorded in a week with producer Ines Marlow.
Her debut album Soft Static (2026) is about distance: phone calls across time zones, late trains, the hum of a city at night. Critics called it warm, patient and quietly bold. The single Tangerine Hour followed in November 2026.
Alongside music, Maya models for independent fashion labels and magazines, and art-directs her own covers and videos. On stage she plays with a four-piece band: drums, bass, keys and guitar.
She is currently touring the UK and Europe and writing her second album.
