Mai Burton

During her Childhood she was constantly interested in artistic development by performing different activities as she was growing up. At age 11 she decides to devote her life to a stage and eventually became part of a group of art students at the April Theater where she started to get involved in the artistic world by meting new people and learning about the various ways to develop her career. Even at this early stage in her life, she soon found out the different challenges and difficulties involved in the artistic world of her country, but that did not stop her from moving on and constantly expressing herself by the means of drawing, writing, painting, etc.

At age 14 she puts all of her hopes, dream, doubts and concerns into paper and ends up writing an entire poetry book. Later that year she recorded her first song entitled “So Long” under the supervision of Fernando Shell, Guatemalan songwriter and record producer. A little later she performed at the "GuateAmala" event where she had the chance to work with an independent record label.

It was there when she first started to create the concept behind her debut album. But her production gets stalled for a while due to creative differences with the record label until she meets producer Walter Calderon whom she eventually decides to develop her album independently and after a few years of production finally “Aresama” is created.

Aresama is meant to take over the music industry by storm with a proposal notable for blending a wide range of genres and rhythms such as Jazz, Blues, and soul into a trip-hop basis.
