Title: Anyone ever heard of Maya Burns?
Post by: RickJ on Fri 21/11/2014 20:12:38
I came across her cover of Different Drum (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpmgDUG2gb4)  by accident.  At first I didn't even think it was her voice, just a kid lip-synching.  But then I watched some more videos where she plays real instruments and sings with her real voice. 

I like her cover of If I Had a Hammer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6E53ap0PMk) and Somebody to Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VefRY49i43M&list=UUcKf2R5vzojVSfEetNTrx9Q&index=52).

It's my understanding that she has publicly performed 20 or more of her own original compositions such as the ones below.  I think it's a pretty impressive accomplishment for a 14 year old kid young lady.

Wow!  I listened to Different Drum and thought, "She's got kind of a Grace Slick thing going on with her voice..." before discovering she also covered Jefferson Airplane, so well played.

I have to admit that I'm hooked on her music.  Every time I listen it makes me feel happy.  I hope she doesn't turn into a freak like so many others.

The last time I discovered new music that I really liked Richard Nixon was president. (laugh)  I'm glad you enjoyed the links.
