After the sucess of Maiko’s debut album ‘Sweet Vibration”, Maiko has been back in the studio and working on new material. Her latest single, Breaking My Heart, was co-written and produced by Tino Zolfo (Adaline). The song came together in one session in Tino’s studio in Toronto.Maiko’s sound is a melting pot of vintage tones, where classic soul meets the twenty first century, layered with reggae and rock. She lists some of her influences as Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin and Betty Davis.

Maiko released independently released her debut solo album, Sweet Vibration. It was awarded Best Urban Album at BreakOut West 2010.
