When I was five years old I had started an unsolved relationship with my piano.
Remembering every note by color, painting my feelings, and losing myself in the music. Transported to distant realms I could express my emotions through my hands, with no need for words.
I’ve always felt there is something bigger than us,
In the background, invisible
Sometimes music can reveal the secrets
Hidden deep inside.
My Story
This is a story about loneliness, a universal battlefield we all encounter in life. It intertwines truth with the mysteries of faith, exploring the choices that lead to mistakes and the heartbreaks that linger in our memories. It’s also a tale of legacy, passed down through generations, filled with unforgettable moments that remind us of the simple, often overlooked beauties of existence.
This journey is one of healing, self-improvement, and the pursuit of being present in the moment. It’s about spreading love without limits, transcending boundaries, and growing into a better version of ourselves.
Step into a world where melodies dance with memories. I’m Maya Shaw, a pianist, singer-songwriter, and composer who pours the magic of my inner world into every note. Music has been my constant companion since I was four years old, guiding me through a journey of self-discovery and emotional expression.
At fifteen, I stumbled upon a remarkable collection of over ten thousand poems and plays by a New York-based psychologist and poet from the 1950s. To my amazement, I discovered that this literary treasure was my grandfather, Irwin Robert Shaw. Although I never had the chance to meet him, his profound explorations of the human soul ignited a deep connection within me and inspired my musical journey.
In a special touch, I’ve included musical interludes featuring his voice. These recordings, discovered on a four-hour tape from the 1980s, offer a deeply personal link to his legacy and infuse the album with an intimate layer of meaning. Each track blends heartfelt lyrics with evolving sounds, reflecting a tapestry of beauty and pain.
Unfocused Freedom is more than just a collection of songs; it’s an invitation to join me on a journey of self-discovery and shared freedom. This album marks the beginning of my musical path, shaped by the melodies that have accompanied me since childhood and enriched by my grandfather’s enduring influence. Experience the blend of brilliance and enchantment as past and present harmonize in a truly magical way.
Expectations
As 2024 unfolds, prepare for a year of powerful music and bold new chapters. My debut album, Unfocused Freedom, alongside four standout singles, has already set an ambitious tone.
This year promises over 12 new songs, with a fresh single every month and another album by the end of 2024. Each release will build on the last, weaving together classic influences with innovative sounds.
It’s going to be a year where every track and lyric carries weight and meaning, reflecting a journey of artistic evolution and personal growth. Get ready for a year that will captivate and resonate, offering a vivid and authentic look into my evolving musical landscape.

Intimate, when I can say, oh to hell with it ,
and let joy unfold Into its happiness.”
