Maeta Transforms Small-Town Roots Into R&B’s Bold New Voice | Billboard x Honda Stage

Watch Maeta talk about her Indiana roots, staying grounded in her creativity and what the future holds in a conversation with Billboard and Honda Stage.

Maeta:
Growing up in Indianapolis made me such a dreamer. I remember when I was posting covers on YouTube, like, I was so young and weird. My mom was seriously my biggest cheerleader has spent so much money on flights, you know, like, just not even knowing where it would go. I feel like discovering my sound is … I’m still doing that. I don’t think that I want to know. It’s fun to just not really know where you’re gonna go. When I first got signed, when I was 18, I hadn’t really gone through life, and I had never been in a relationship. I had never been in love before, and then around that time, life just threw at me so much stuff, but now my music has gained a lot of depth. Now I don’t even like songs if I don’t feel it so.
