| Singer-Songwriter | Cellist | Guitarist | Artist |
Mai is an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Born into a family of artists, she started playing cello at age 9, and by 15 she was writing her own songs on guitar. After graduating from UC Santa Cruz, she moved back home to Los Angeles and became a founding member of indie folk-pop band, Raining Jane. Mai wears many hats as a musician–from band member, accompanist, and session player, to producer, writer, and solo artist. With her solo music releases, she’s received songwriting awards from the Kerrville, Telluride, and Rocky Mountain Folks Festivals. She has collaborated with many artists, such as Jason Mraz, Sara Bareilles, Adam Cohen, Willy Porter. In 2016 she played cello on Leonard Cohen’s album “You Want It Darker.” Working with Jason Mraz as a writer and band member, Mai has co-written hits such as “Look For The Good” (2020), “Have It All” (2018), “Love Someone” (2014), and “A Beautiful Mess” (2008). She has toured the world, playing stages from coffee shops to Royal Albert Hall, and she’s performed live on The Today Show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (and Jimmy Fallon), The Ellen Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and American Idol.
Mai is driven by a love of songwriting, and a dedication to support others in the creative process. In 2010 she helped start Rock n’ Roll Camp for Girls Los Angeles, a non-profit dedicated to empowering girls and gender-expansive youth through music. She teaches songwriting there and serves as Art Director year-round. She has also led songwriting workshops at the Song School in Colorado, Rain City Rock in Seattle, and The Americana Song Academy in Oregon.
Whether performing, writing, or mentoring, Mai brings a combination of strength, vulnerability, and wisdom to her work. Her songs often speak of the pursuit of finding the light inside the dark–a theme magnified in her own life when she became a breast cancer survivor. She does inspirational speaking engagements and is currently writing a memoir, hoping her story will encourage others on their creative paths.
