Maestra Chameleon
Maestra Chameleon is an electronic performer and DJ who enjoys living in the space between classical and contemporary music. She enjoys orchestrating the colors of different genres into her own symphonic universe. One can never expect what will come out of her in any given moment, whether she’s making a mashup between Debussy and Korean R&B or covering Hans Zimmer. Her medium is within electronic spaces and her baton is her laptop and turntable.

Who I Am/Who’s AYAM
Maya is a transdisciplinary artist-scholar from the D.C. Metropolitan Maryland area. When she isn’t in school, she splits her time between freelancing and developing her artist project AYAM.
AYAM is the artist project of Maya and it contains all of her musical identities: Maya Giles, Maya Simone, Maya X, and Maestra Chameleon. Long pulled between her love of Euro-classical music and contemporary music, Maya hopes that her musical expression will create a meet in the middle space for the two worlds to coexist and cross pollinate both respective listening audiences.
