MAYA JAYNE COLES
We’re often disappointed that, increasingly, the only seeming requirement for female DJs these days is either having a celebrity parent, step parent, or sibling, or employment as a fashion PR rep with a laptop full of top forty tunes or “classics” they downloaded yesterday; but every once in a while, a really talented and authentic diamond brilliantly stands out in the rough and stands on her own merit, without exploiting the obvious. Enter Maya Jayne Coles — not only a DJ, but a damn good music producer! We love that she’s captured that big 90’s deep house vibe with her hit, “What They Say,” and are excited about all that she’s putting out. So to Maya Jayne Coles, we say something we rarely say to the new crop of DJ femmes out there, “You go, girl!”
