Meet MAI TY

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to MAI TY. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

MAI , so happy to have you with us today. You are such a creative person, but have you ever had any sort of creativity block along the way? If so, can you talk to us about how you overcame or beat it?

Honestly writer’s block hits me just like anybody else, but I’ve learned not to fight it head on. I step out of the studio and go live a little. I’ll go on a drive, have conversations, etc. My best ideas come from the moments when I’m not trying so hard to create.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

So I go by MAI TY, I’m a musical artist that blends emotional storytelling with melodic rap and alternative influences. Growing up, I didn’t always feel understood and writing became the one place where I could be completely honest. That turned into a passion, then a craft, and now a career I’m building piece by piece.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Looking back, the three things that shaped my journey the most were emotional honesty, consistency, and resourcefulness. The advice I’d give is simple: start making music, improve a little every day, and be yourself.

Okay, so before we go, is there anyone you’d like to shoutout for the role they’ve played in helping you develop the essential skills or overcome challenges along the way?

The people who’ve been the most helpful in my journey are the ones who pushed my sound further than I thought it could go. Hero Delano has been huge for me. He worked on ‘Back to Texas’ off Post Malone’s F-1 Trillion: Long Bed, and getting to collaborate with someone who operates at that level completely changed how I approach production, structure, and emotion in a song. He’s the type of person who doesn’t just make music, he brings out a version of you that you didn’t even know was in there.

Another major person in my development has been Juberlee, a Grammy Award–winning producer. Working with him taught me a ton about precision and intention. He hears details most people don’t even think about, and he pushed me to stop settling for ‘good’ takes and to go get great ones. That kind of mentorship gave me confidence in my vocal choices and helped me understand how to carve out space in a mix while still keeping the emotion front and center.
