Having written and produced for some of the greats, Beverley Knight,Damage,Tina Turner,Rod Stewart,Artful Dodger & Liberty X, Michelle Escoffery is finally offering her own material under the artist name "Maya Blu".
Hailing from the "Escoffery's" hall of fame, Michelle is the youngest of the sisters who were signed to Atlantic Records in 1991 with their album "Opinions".
She started singing at the tender age of 7 under direction of her father "George Escoffery" who taught all four sisters to sing in 4 part harmony.
Michelle was principle songwriter of the RnB girl group "Truce" signed to Big Life Records 1993-98.
She then signed to EMI music publishing in 2000 and in 2002 wrote No1 hit Just A Little - Liberty X. This song won her the prestigious Ivor Novello award for PRS most performed work of 2002 and was recently acknowledged by PRS as one of the top 100 songs of the century.
Michelle Escoffery's talent and love for music is unquestionable - Michelle says “I love writing songs and collaborating with artists, it is very different writing for myself. I thought it was time I gave myself a voice and told my own stories. I’ve created Maya Blu to make a clear distinction between myself as a writer and Artiste. Michelle Escoffery is about creating for other people. Maya Blu is all about me, being as honest in my music and approach to it as I possibly can. ”
Growing up in a Jamaican household with parents of the "Windrush Era", Michelle's influences are richly rooted in reggae, gospel and soul with hints of jazz. Single "Slow Dance" is a throwback of "Ska Music" meets soul vocals, celebrating "Women and Womanhood" with substance & panache.
"Slow Dance" Comes with an "AfroBeats Remix" & a double "A Side" Soul Record Called "Good Man" also Produced by Gil Cang.
