Maya

Maya is a member of the seven-piece group XG, formed by the XGALX label, whose Japanese members train and live in South Korea and record in English. She debuted with the group in March 2022 on "Tippy Toes" and is often the one who leads English-language conversation during international interviews. Raised in a global environment, she grew up on 90s and 2000s R&B and hip-hop and names Destiny's Child as a favorite. With XG she has taken part in a first world tour, a Coachella set, a Tokyo Dome finale and the 2026 full album "THE CORE."

Where they grew up

Maya was raised in a global environment and absorbed music from the 1990s and 2000s as a kid, including Boyz II Men, Run-D.M.C. and Destiny's Child. Her path to music began in elementary school, when she first performed on stage and decided that was where she belonged. She later trained for years with the other six members between Japan and South Korea before the group's 2022 debut. Her place in the group is partly shaped by her English ability, which makes her a natural voice in international press.
