Maye Osorio (born December 1, 1993), better known by her stage name Maye, is a Venezuelan-born American singer-songwriter.

Life

Maye was born in Caracas, and her family moved to Miami when she was young. Her father is Fernando Osorio, a singer-songwriter who won a Latin Grammy Award for Best Tropical Song in 2004.[1] She first started writing songs when she was eight. Her first songs were in English, but her father encouraged her to write in Spanish as well.[2]

Career

Maye was on the songwriting team of Aitana's song "Nada Sale Mal", and was also part of the songwriting team of Aitana's debut album Spoiler.[3] [4] She and her father were also part of the songwriting effort behind Danny Ocean's song "Dime Tú", and she performed backing vocals as well.[5] [6]

In 2019, she released her first single, "My Love". The song features a switch in tempo at the chorus. This track helped her get her first deal with Warner Chappell Music.[7]

Soon after, she released her second single, "Tú". The track has over 65 million streams on Spotify, and Barack Obama listed it as one of his favorite songs of summer 2020.[8] In 2020, she also released a cover of J Balvin and Bad Bunny's "La Canción" as a single.

In 2021, she released the singles "Yours" and "Versos de Placer." As part of their celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, in September NPR Music released Maye's Tiny Desk Concert performance.[9] In January 2022, she released "Descifrar" before embarking as the opening act for the first leg of The Marias's CINEMA tour.[10] [11] She then released "Maybe Baby" in February.

In 2023, she released "Kaleidoscope". She also released "Heridas pt. 2" with RØZ and "Mi Hogar" with DannyLux later that year. In November, she opened for Faye Webster on tour.[12] [13] In 2024, she was featured on the song "Qué Bonito!" for Nella Rojas's album En Otra Via.
