Regulars to our site know that we have
a selective roster of brilliant acts whom we reckon are of
international standard. Joining our small roster recently
is one of Australia's most talented MC's/Hip Hop artist -
and media star in her own right, the wonderful Maya Jupiter.
This is her story.
Maya Jupiter is not your average MC, born in La Paz, Mexico
she has travelled the world performing through her dancing
and music. Maya started rapping through
listening to hip hop music of the early nineties by artists
such as Salt N Pepa and Naughty By Nature. Her reputation
for having one of the best live shows in Australian Hip Hop
and ability to rock a crowd has found her on stage next to
international acts such as Kut Master Kurt, Black Eyed Peas,
DJ CashMoney and many more.
A Maya Jupiter live show encapsulates all of her influences
from the inclusion of a live salsa duo (horns and percussion)
to the Latin American harp and of course two turntables and
a mic!
Maya’s natural talent has led to many accomplishments
such as winning the 2001 Big Day Out Comp, appearing as a
latin dance instructor in the acclaimed Australian drama
Lantana, presenting the hip hop/r+b programme Soul Kitchen
on Foxtel’s Channel V and hosting Sydney's biggest
rnb night, "RNBsuperclub" which is held at Home
nightclub every Thursday night with over 2000 clubbers attending.
Maya is heavily involved with community projects hosting
various
workshops around Sydney and recently visited the
UK as part of an exchange with ICE, where she was involved
with workshops and performed. She co-taught “Hip
Hop For The Ladies” a 12 week course designed for young
inner city girls which led to recordings of their music being
pressed up on cd and sold.
From hosting the SBS radio show, Alchemy every Saturday night
to promoting the hugely successful “Ladies First” hip
hop night at Bar Broadway, Maya Jupiter is one busy girl
but manages to put her all into every project she is involved
in. Now after a 3 year process her album “Today” is
finally released through Mother Tongues the worlds first
record label dedicated to women in hip hop. With heavy rotation
of the lead single “Move” on JJJ Radio and numerous
music TV shows the stage is set for Maya to exceed all expectations
and achieve her ultimate goal which is putting Australian
Hip Hop music on the map.
Maya recently released her debut album, 'Today' (containing
the hit single, 'Move') through Creative Vibes. It's a outstanding
album that put's Maya in the same league as many of her contemporary
international female MC counterparts
We think Maya is an exceptionally talented MC and artist
and we ask you to keep an eye out for her live shows. Quite
simply, Maya is a star!
