Maya Jupiter’s artivism began in her early twenties when she facilitated hip-hop songwriting workshops with under served youth in her hometown of Sydney, Australia.
Now raising a family in Los Angeles, Maya Jupiter released her third solo album produced by Quetzal Flores titled “Never Said Yes.” An album that sits at the intersection of feminism, activism and revolutionary motherhood.
She is on the advisory board at Peace Over Violence and has been a spokesperson for their Denim Day Campaign. In 2014 she was recognized with their Voice Over Violence Humanitarian Award. In 2017, she received Tiyya’s Owliya Community Leadership Award and was honored by the Justice For My Sister Collective.
In 2018 she was the recipient of East LA Community Corporation’s Mujer Guerrera Award.
Maya co-founded Artivist Entertainment with Aloe Blacc, Quetzal Flores, Alberto Lopez and Veronica Gonzalez to support artists who create positive social change and was the Monday host of The Global Village Show on KPFK 90.7FM Los Angeles.
Back in 2003 Maya released her first self-titled album. Mother Tongues Label is a label dedicated to Women In Hip Hop based in Sydney, Australia. This is the first single from the album. The custom made Cyber Thief jersey dress is now on display at The Australian Music Vault in Melbourne as part of their Hip Hop Display.
“That Ain’t Me,” high intensity and power, delivered with a punkish snarl over power chords, putting those who try to categorize Maya Jupiter on blast. Jupiter’s story is all her own, and she calls the shots. And as she proclaims: “You’re telling me what I’m supposed to be, but I’ll tell ya right now, that it ain’t me.”
“Madre Tierra” interrogates women’s varied roles in the home, the public sphere, on political levels and all the ways we shape social political culture, drawing on various historical references of women who have had significant impact on the world and in critical thought.
