ARTIST OF THE YEAR: MAYSA

Unique, instantly identifiable vocals. A sound that encompasses jazz and R&B
with a seemingly effortless grace. A jazz festival favorite. Grammy-nominated,
Soul Train award-winning vocalist Maysa is this year’s Artist of the Year.

The Baltimore, Md. native knew early on she would be a musician. “I was 6
years old when my mom took me to see ‘Purlie,’ ” she recalled. “When Melba
Moore came on stage and sang her heart out, I knew at that moment I wanted
to make people feel the way she made me feel.”

Maysa’s journey took her from singing with Stevie Wonder for a year to
becoming lead singer for Incognito in the 1990s. In 1995, she recorded her first
solo album, “Maysa,” which debuted to rave reviews from critics and listeners
alike.
