She is best known for her single "Tú", which was featured on former President of the United States Barack Obama's 2020 summer playlist.[1] She released her debut album Música Para Abrir El Cielo on June 27, 2025.[2]
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.[3] 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.[4]
Maye was on the songwriting team of Aitana's song "Nada Sale Mal", and was also part of the songwriting team of Aitana's 2019 debut album Spoiler.[5][6] 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.[7][8]
On March 15, 2019, she released her first single "My Love", which features a switch in tempo at the chorus. The track helped her get her first deal with Warner Chappell Music.[9] On September 16, she released her second single "Tú", which was featured in Barack Obama's annual summer playlist in 2020.[1] 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.[10] In January 2022, she released "Descifrar" before embarking as the opening act for the first leg of The Marias's CINEMA tour.[11][12] She then released "Maybe Baby" in February.
In 2023, she released the single "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.[13][14] In 2024, she was featured on the song "Qué Bonito!" for Nella's album En Otra Vida.
On April 4, 2025, Maye released "Yo Me Consiento", the first single of her upcoming debut album. On April 8, she announced her first U.S. tour to begin in July, stating “[Fans] can also expect some special guests on tour that are very dear to me”.[15] The album's second single "Peter Pan" was released on May 30. On June 27, Maye released her debut album Música Para Abrir El Cielo, which was noted by Billboard as one of the best new Latin albums of the week.[2][16] On the same day, she released the third single of the album, "Lento", which features Rawayana.
Maye's music has been described as "an organic fusion of dream pop with nuances of bossa nova, bolero, and Latin influences, articulated with a contemporary Gen Z sensibility."[16] Maye has also been noted for her "sultry vocals and ethereal energy" and ability to switch between English and Spanish in her songs.[10]
