Maeta just blessed us with a killer new EP this June, "Endless Night." It's a sultry dance party in your ears, with all seven tracks produced by the amazing Kaytranada. Maeta has also been busy on the 11:11 Tour with Chris Brown and most recently signed a sweet deal with Warner Chappell Music. With that, let's peel back the curtain a bit...
Dive into Maeta’s World, where contemporary R&B meets smoky jazz and chill pop. This Indianapolis native started serenading the internet as a teen, her voice so smooth it could slip right onto a silk pillowcase. Fast forward to LA, and Maeta's on fire. Her debut EP "Do Not Disturb" (self-released, no less!), dropped in 2019, with the track "Babygirl" making a splash. Collaborations with Ambré, Kaytranada, Buddy, and Skrillex followed, each one a stepping stone on her meteoric rise. Signing with Roc Nation, Maeta dropped the acclaimed "Habits" EP, featuring some familiar tracks and propelling her further into the spotlight. After a strategic 2022 with festival appearances and a single, she exploded back in 2023, gracing tracks with Vic Mensa and Thundercat before unleashing her own sultry "S(EX)" EP. But wait, there's more! "When I Hear Your Name" dropped in June 2023, boasting features from heavy hitters like Ty Dolla $ign and Lucky Daye, with songwriting credits from SZA,The Dream, Kehlani and Demi Lovato. It's a who's-who of contemporary R&B, all gathered around Maeta's undeniable talent. With her signature silky vocals and genre-defying sound, Maeta is here to carve a permanent niche in the music industry for years to come.
