Maya said in an email “I wrote the song and then practiced and recorded the music with a great band of guys at the Christchurch School of Jazz and all things Music. Massive thanks to Daniel Hitchens (Guitar), Cameron Burnett( Drums), Nick Dow( Keys) and Joe Vaiese( Bass) for their great efforts and time. Thanks also to Barnaby Coxon for his recording efforts at the Jazz School Studio. Then, I hit the studio with Dru to see how we could mould it. And here it is. I hope you like it.”
