NEWS - Oops we did it again

It's only been a few days since "No One Should Be alone" has been released and it's been getting so much support! 

Thank you to all the radio DJ's that have been playing it and every single person that went and spent the money to download it! 

Beatport has a great new feature called HYPE to highlight underground artists like me. We went into the Top 100 Trance Hype charts at No.49 and have made it up to No.25 today.

You can read all about what this song means to me in my last blog entry and also in this amazing blog we've been featured in 

I have decided to give any royalties from this track to homeless people, so we're not done yet ! 

Go get your copy, help the song climb and raise awareness of what's going on in the UK and all around the world right now, in the dark corners of our societies and in our own isolations!

NEWS - "No One Should Be Alone" OUT TODAY

After our Trance No1 hitting release, DJ Abscence and I decided to crack on with a follow up single. 
I was walking through the streets of Brighton, UK listening to the new instrumental he had sent towards the end of last winter. 
We had an exceptionally cold winter and as I was walking through the biting cold I was reminded of the unacceptable rise in homelessness in London and the South- East of the UK (see screenshot below for reference). There are rough sleepers on every corner of town. 

As I was listening to the instrumental, the words and melody came to me within minutes:

Unattainable lives 
Only the strongest survive 

Meeting ends

Ending dreams 

Stop to believe 

The ones that used to be there

They just stop and stare 

From the other side 

Not know what it's like

No one should be alone 

Outtake

 (this bit didn't make it into the song as it didn't quite fit musically):

And if you can’t stand 

We’ll take the fall

And if you shall fall

We’ll fall for it all 

Homelessness is probably only a small cause of loneliness -  depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, illness and many more factors can cause this feeling of isolation. I'm sure we've all been there at some point in our lives. So let the music be a reminder to us to be kind and sensitive to the people around us and share the music with someone that might need to hear it must!  

As with every song, it goes on a journey of being refined over and over again. But here we are with another collaboration that is very close to my heart! A big thank you to all those that have already bought it on pre-order! I'm super excited to see how well it'll do! 

Make sure you get your copy here, if you haven't yet to support this cause of raising awareness for such a rising issue that doesn't seem to be going anywhere!

FASHION - Beach Editorial Publication

4.30am - the alarm went off! I went straight to the Espresso machine to wake up for the morning ahead. I somehow manage to sleep for a few hours as usually my bedtime is not long before that wake up call!

Photographer Julia Sabiniarz arrived with her MUA Holly Mcgoochan and fellow model Crystal Rodrigues to start on the hair and make up whilst it was slowly getting lighter. 

Between making and drinking more coffee, Holly got us models ready to hit the beach at 6am. 

We drove to Rottingdean, a small quaint town just outside of Brighton to catch the early sunbeams of the wonderful summer we've been having. 

Julia used the light and captured the atmosphere of this early morning perfectly. The water was warm enough to enjoy jumping in to capture some creative shots! 

We were even more pleased when we found out that Elegant Magazine was going to publish some of these edits in their October edition! 

It's been a one of a kind shoot that was certainly out of my comfort zone, but this is where the good and exciting stuff happens!

NEWS - What I did about it - NEW MUSIC

A few weeks ago I wrote about the headf*** that the music business can be. 

My summer has been very positive just enjoying music for what it means to me, recording acoustic as well as sung tracks with my Blüthner piano. 

For the love of music, here's one of the tracks I have worked on this summer.

MORE NEWS....

This summer I also signed 3 more tracks in Trance and House! 

One of them is a follow up to "More than anything" with DJ Abscence. The other 2 will be revealed soon!

We are just waiting on the release dates to give out more info!

Have a happy weekend! Hope you enjoy this acoustic number of mine! As always, I love hearing what you guys have to say about it!

Breaking Through - The Artists' Headf*** and what I'll do about it !

If you're an artist like me whose life revolves around music in one form or another you might have been where I've been finding myself lately - Music isn't just a hobby, it's a profession, you stopped playing just for fun itself! It seems utterly important to become a perfectionist, edit more than you're being creative, trying to get that perfect take instead of doing what you used to... it's such a hard balance and bluntly sometimes put a headf***!

Music used to be my cry for life, my lifeline, my therapy, my hearts desire, my I can't live without!

And it still is! If it was taken away from me I'd die of heartbreak! Yet it has also become a burden, to be more successful, to ever better myself, to reach higher and higher, getting up again after every fall and disappointment, cause how can I not? Like I said, it would be my internal death. So I keep going, sometimes I keep avoiding, I keep hiding, I keep squeezing my creativity.

I'm saying "f*** it" to all of the above for a while!
I fell in music cause it's deep inside me and has the power to build me up and break my inner fears, connect me to something higher and help me express what I would have otherwise expressed in unhealthy behaviours. Now my unhealthy behaviour has become being in the music industry. Whilst I will not work any less hard on my projects, I will let loose for a while and just record some acoustic songs, raw, with minimum editing ! Some of you might not like that and that's fine, I will get more electronic music out (next Trance release is almost confirmed)https://soundcloud.com/mayawolff/maya-wolff-breakthrough! But I need to step back and reconnect with that teenage girl that wouldn't have survived without her piano and writing countless songs!

Here's a song I wrote in 2014 before this headf*** started - I spent a few weeks at my mum's house until I found somewhere to live in Brighton to start a new life there. I can still feel every line in this song and it's my cry now as it was then!

I hope you enjoy it and will enjoy a series of acoustic tracks going on my Soundcloud over the next few weeks!
