With deep reverence for the old ways, Maida walks with the spirit of the drum and guides others in sacred sound and creation.
Maida Gayle , songweaver and drumkeeper,is a lifelong collaborator with the spirit of music, art, and creation. With a foundation in classical music training, her path transformed after a profound health initiation that led her to the restorative wisdom of the earth, sound, color, and spirit. From silence and fear, she reclaimed her voice and remembered her innate belonging. Today, she shares this journey of renewal with others–through song, ceremony, and attunement to the elements.
Based in Chiang Mai as the lead singer of tribal trance band TUKU, Maida merges her rich musical background with deep reverence for indigenous wisdom and world music traditions. She has co-created with musicians from around the world, weaving together diverse influences into medicine music that touches the soul.
Through improvisational singing, ceremonial circles, and an array of artistic creations, Maida shares her story of transformation and invites others into their own. Her work is an offering—from the heart—to help people reconnect with themselves, each other, and the earth.
