“Deep and soul-bearing, she sings like she's been everywhere and seen it all,” says CDBaby.com, the online music store where Maya Who?! remains in the Urban/R&B Top Sellers List. Brooklyn-born and raised songbird Maya Azucena is often described as the “hardest working artist I know.” The NY Post recently described Maya Azucena as having a “towering voice which has echoes of old-school divas, like Chaka Khan and Roberta Flack.”

“Azucena comes across as a completely real character in her songs, someone you not only believe in, but you're rooting for to win in the end,” asserts the East Bay Express. As Performing Songwriter Magazine puts it: “Maya Who?! Won’t be a question people ask for long.”

"Junkyard Jewel is - People's Music. Truly a blast of fresh air! ...Her incredible voice is out there in 3D and we are all better off for hearing it in it's purity."
