Vancouver singer/songwriter and rising star Maya Rae is only 19 years old, but has a voice that communicates with an immediacy and commitment that many artists never attain. In an age when so much music feels overproduced and lacking in genuine emotion, Rae’s songs come like a breath of fresh air. Vital, committed, and uplifting, her latest 2020 release, Can You See Me? is the real deal. Confident and soulful, the songs on her new album are as impressive as you will hear anywhere. Rae’s live performances allow the listener to hear a young storyteller on stage, weaving her original songs through a concert that is also mixed with jazz standards and classics.

“One of Canada’s Top 35 Jazz Artists Under 35…a supremely gifted artist who is able to phrase like Sarah Vaughan but write a lyric like Joni Mitchell.” – CBC
