A 20-year-old BRIT School graduate, Maya Delilah is not only a guitar expert but also writes songs of her own, drawing inspiration from artists like John Mayer, Daniel Caesar, D’Angelo, Tyler The Creator, Bruno Mars, and Vulfpeck.

She has more than 157,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and a strong social media following including 273,000 followers and 4.8 million likes on TikTok, and more than 47,000 followers on Instagram.

With her first EP Oh Boy and single Moonflower released in 2020, Delilah’s second EP, It’s Not Me, It’s You, is ready for release this year.

Director A&R at Bucks, Sarah Liversedge Platz said: “Maya is not only a great songwriter with an infectious soul-pop sound, she’s also a phenomenal guitarist, combating the stereotype of it being a ‘male instrument’. Her popularity is sky-rocketing on social media and there’s so much more great music to come. We’re pleased to support Amadeus Publishing in her signing and continued development.”

Delilah said: “I am beyond excited to be joining the Amadeus/Bucks team. They’ve been nothing but supportive and encouraging of me and my music and I can’t wait to work closely with them and see where this road takes me.”
