Who is Maya
Award-winning Brazilian electronic music artist Maya Fourteen moves seamlessly across genres, shaping sound through performance, production and curation. Her work has built a strong international audience and carries depth and unmistakable taste.
Maya has been a musician since childhood. That shaped her ear, resulting in emotionally driven, story-telling sets, capable of blending deep, tech, organic and progressive elements into evolving journeys that pull you in, and grow on you.
Born where the Amazon Basin begins, in Mato Grosso, and now based between Europe and South America, she has performed around the world, in major capital cities and key electronic music destinations, with releases on respected electronic music labels.
The palette runs from melodic deep house and organic, tribal warmth into deep tech, tech house and progressive grooves. She uses that range structurally rather than decoratively: the Amazon Basin session leans into organic tech and tribal textures, the SLS Dubai set is a straight deep tech and progressive house journey, and 'Feel Better', her EP with Mario Franca, moves from dream-like deep house into a deeper, more driving deep tech edge.
Maya opened the 17th anniversary of Greenvalley, voted the world's number one club by DJ Mag five times, with the club's first sunset session in over a decade, setting up the night for Beltran, Michael Bibi and Chemical Surf.
Beyond Brazil she has played Terra Solis Dubai, Tomorrowland's desert club; World Club Dome, Germany's biggest festival; the Privilege Rooftop at SLS Dubai, seventy-five floors above the skyline; and a private FENDI event inside the Yachthouse by Pininfarina in Balneário Camboriú, with further dates across Europe, the Middle East and Asia, from London and Amsterdam to Tokyo, Bangkok and Bali. Her recorded sets have passed 330,000 combined plays on YouTube and SoundCloud, reaching listeners in more than 100 countries.
Her debut single 'Uniqueness', with spoken word vocals by Francesca Posgai, was handpicked by Marc Romboy for the 20th anniversary album of Systematic Recordings and reached number eight on Beatport. 'Feel Better', a two-track EP with Mario Franca, followed on Steve Lawler's VIVa MUSiC, and her remix debut, for Costax's 'Stay', came out on Dioscuri Records alongside one by Timo Maas. The releases are collected in full elsewhere on this site.
In 2025 she received a Future Talent Award at IMS Ibiza, selected by Pete Tong, and the Nicole Moudaber Talent Highlight Prize. Her work has been covered by DJ Mag LATAM, Mixmag Brazil and Clubbing TV, and Gray Area included her in 'Brazilian DJs You Must Know For 2026' — the press page collects the coverage.
Every set is built as a progression rather than a sequence of tracks. At Greenvalley that design was the long burn: begin with the floor empty and the sun still high, and let the energy grow at the pace the room actually arrives.
"I love to adapt to the environment, the time of day, the energy in the room. The palette changes, but the identity remains."
It is why the sets here are published with their stories attached: where each one was recorded, what the room was doing, and how it was built.
