Sony Music Entertainment Australia has today announced their signing of 19-year-old Sydney artist MAY-A (real name Maya Cumming).
Cumming grew up in Byron Bay and started writing music at age 12, eventually joining the town's busking scene.
“I am so psyched to have signed with Sony Music and excited to see everything that they will bring to the team," said Cumming of the deal.
"I can’t wait to build our own mini universe full of wonderful creativity.”
“We are thrilled to welcome MAY-A to the Sony Music family and we look forward to working with her as part of her long creative journey going forward,” said Denis Handlin AO, Chairman and CEO of Sony Music Entertainment Australia and New Zealand.
“MAY-A is incredibly special and her talent is very authentic and compelling. We are proud and honoured that she has decided to call Sony Music home for Australia and New Zealand.”
“I’m so excited to kick off the next phase of MAY-A’s career. She is such a special artist with so much to offer and I can’t wait for the world to hear what she has been working on," co-manager Christian Lo Russo said.
"It felt so surreal walking back into the Sony Music building after almost a decade since working with the label for my own band’s music [Amy Meredith]. It has been amazing reconnecting with Denis and the team.”
“MAY-A, Christian and I are so happy to be partnering with Denis and the wonderful team at Sony Music Australia. We can’t wait to get to work!" added co-manager Matt Emsell.
