Maya Killtron, Canada’s dynamic Queen of Boogie, is a powerhouse multi-talent celebrated for her vibrant RnB NuDisco Boogie and 80’s funk. Her breakout album, “Never Dance Alone” (2019), catapulted her into the international Boogie scene, followed by the highly anticipated “Persimmon” in 2022. Singles from the albums secured spots in top playlists and CBC’s 2023 Searchlight competition.
Beyond her solo success, Maya is a sought-after collaborator, contributing as a songwriter, producer, arranger, and touring violinist/vocalist. Her influence extends to founding Bowed Arts, a Quartet performance collective and school for strings focused on accessibility and equity.
Maya has played the Toronto TD Jazz Festival mainstage and toured internationally to Tallinn Music Week (Estonia) and Viva Sounds (Sweden), Los Angeles and in spring 2025 Japan. Now, she’s gearing up for the release of her next album, “Toronja,” promising another chapter in her remarkable musical journey.
