Write This Dream With Me
help me bring my music to our world
Meet Maya Shaw
I’m a New York-based singer-songwriter creating cinematic, emotional music that blends vintage soul with raw, modern storytelling.
From heartfelt piano ballads to bold stage performances,
I’m here to make people feel something real.
Every vote matters.
​
Let’s make it happen together.
Who or what is your musical inspiration?
Since I was four, music has been my second heartbeat. I grew up singing Disney musicals, dreaming of the stage, spinning Bobby Vinton records, and falling in love with sounds that never age. Artists like Lana Del Rey, Audrey Hepburn, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, and Aimee Mann showed me music can be cinematic, fearless, and true. Every song I write carries their spirit, and the little girl who still believes in magic.
What would you do with $60,000?
​
I would pour it straight into the music that’s lived inside me since I was a little girl with piano keys under my fingers and dreams in my chest. I’d record the songs that are ready to meet the world, build a platform to connect with more hearts, and create art that feels like sunlight after a storm. This isn’t just about music, it’s about giving people a place to breathe, dream, and heal.
