North London native Maya Delilah is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist whose largely self-analyzing songs reflect voracious listening habits that range from classic and contemporary singer/songwriters to soul, blues, gospel, and hip-hop. The first showcase for her tenderly ringing voice and economical soloing was "Tangerine Dream," an R&B-rooted ballad featured on Oh Boy, her 2020 debut EP. After another self-released EP, she signed with the historic Blue Note label, and from late 2022 into early 2025 released a batch of songs that increased anticipation for the March 2025 arrival of The Long Way Round, her debut LP. Delilah plays acoustic and electric guitars and never uses a pick.
