MAIYA SYKES

Los Angeles, CA

Maiya is one of a few people who can say they've achieved the "trifecta" of being accepted to Yale, Princeton and Harvard. Maiya attended Yale with a triple major in political science, African American studies and music composition. After graduating, she followed in her parents' musical footsteps. She became a background singer and toured with Macy Gray for six years, but now Maiya is ready to step into her own spotlight.
