Having a Trinidadian bloodline, growing up in queen Ny, and meeting people with an awesome ear for flavor; music has made itself a beautiful theme in my life. Soca, reggae, dancehall, metal, drum and base, jazz, blues, and of course hip hop and r&b are genres that I find quite enjoyable. Maya will be hosting the Loud Mix on Saturday Nights with DJ Grooves from 10pm to 2am

Aside from listening to music I prefer to spend my time connecting with the sun, moon, and planet earth. Listening to my thoughts and following the whispers as they always keep me whole.

I love great times, great experiences, and amazing snacks.

Nice to meet you !
