How did you start writing music?

[Maya Clars]

I was just thinking back to how my musical journey began. It started quite a long time ago, when I was six and enrolled in music school! Though, the specific moment that sparked the idea of writing my own music also came quite early on. I was always humming something, coming up with lyrics, and writing them down, it was a constant, flowing process. They were just silly little songs, I’d sing about pastries (hahaha I guess I really loved sweet things haha), but as I got older, I started listening to various other artists. Initially, it was just Selena Gomez, I listened exclusively to her, but later, as I grew up, I discovered bands like Starset and Set It Off. Their music really inspired me, and I began writing songs of my own on my iPad.

And how did you start writing music? What was the starting point for you?

I was a wee lad of 9 and my brothers played guitar - I joined them and made up songs from the get go - I learned to do covers really well by the time I was 14 - and that helped me write songs cause I was learning structure and arragement - and shortly after I figured out how tone makes things work.
