Alternative-pop singer-songwriter Maya J'an has officially signed with Warner Records, marking a new milestone in her career. The announcement comes just days after the release of her striking debut single "Cul-de-sac", a powerful love letter to her hometown of Pasadena and its communities affected by the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.
The song's emotional resonance is palpable, combining handclaps, icy synths, and subtly thumping percussion with J'an's gentle, haunting vocal take. Produced by Jonas Jurstom, "Cul-de-sac" serves as a poignant tribute to J'an's hometown and her experience navigating the aftermath of the wildfires.
"I've been following Maya's career for a while now, from her work as an in-demand and acclaimed songwriter to the singular artist she's now become," said Aaron Bay-Schuck, CEO and co-chairman of Warner Records. "Her talent, storytelling, and emotional conviction stand above, and we're so honored to have her join the Warner Records family."
J'an's signing with Warner Records is a significant development for the singer-songwriter, who has already garnered attention for her songwriting credits on various tracks, including Aqyila's hit single "Bloom". Her work has earned her recognition at prestigious award shows, including the 2025 Juno Awards.
"Cul-de-sac" marks a new chapter in J'an's career, one that promises to explore themes of love, loss, and resilience. With Warner Records' support, she is poised to take her music to new heights, sharing her unique voice and perspective with fans around the world.

I'm so hyped for Maya J'an!!! 
She's got such a special energy about her and this song 'Cul-de-sac' gives me CHILLS 
I love how she's using her platform to share stories about her hometown and the wildfires - it's like, totally relatable 
And can we talk about that production?! 
It's like, the perfect blend of emotional and uplifting at the same time 
She's like a breath of fresh air, you know? Reminds me of that old saying 'you can't start the next chapter of your life until you close the current one' 
. It sounds cheesy, but she's taking all her experiences - good and bad - and turning them into this beautiful music that's gonna touch so many hearts. And I think it's dope that Warner Records is backing her up, like they're saying 'we see your talent and we want to help you share it with the world' 
. It's a reminder that sometimes all it takes is someone believing in us to take our passions to the next level 
her new single "Cul-de-sac" is giving me LIFE 
the way she weaves storytelling into her music is so inspiring - can't wait to see what else she has in store for us 
You're still you, but everything around you has changed. Maya J'an's music is already so introspective and emotionally charged, it feels like she's been writing about her hometown and the wildfires all along, even if we didn't know about it until now.
Maya J'an's Cul-de-sac has dropped and it's already a wildfire 
Can't wait for more of her heart-wrenching, anthemic bops 
#MayaJan #CulDeSac 
. I mean, another record label just trying to cash in on some talented artist's work, right? And "Cul-de-sac" is just a product of their marketing machine, a feel-good song designed to get played on repeat and make the masses swoon 
. And what about the indie scene? Are they going to be pushed out by some big label wanting a piece of the action? Not buying it 
I'm loving Maya J'an's vibe on this debut single - it's so introspective and emotive! The way she combines folk and pop elements is really refreshing. As someone who's been following her career, I can see why Warner Records wanted to sign her... she's got talent pouring out of every pore 
and being forced to grow up too soon 
. I love how she's using her platform to give a shoutout to her hometown and the communities affected by those LA wildfires 
the way she combines different sounds is totally on point 
. I'm loving the atmospheric production and her vocal delivery is so hauntingly beautiful 
. With Warner Records backing her up, I'm expecting big things from this talented singer-songwriter in 2025!
