Creative Sparks: Where are they now? Maya Jane Coles

Maya Jane Coles was one of the young people involved in the Creative Sparks programme right at the very beginning. Maya showed incredible creativity and talent in music and music production, and was mentored by tour and production manager Simon Green.

Since then, Maya's career has sky-rocketed, with regular DJ sets in Ibiza, Coachella, the Ministry of Sound and all over the world. In June, Maya was the support act on the Eastern European leg of Depeche Mode's tour and Simon Green joined her as her tour manager! They invited Rick along to the gig in Cluj, Romania with a backstage pass and full access.

Maya has also just released a new double album - Take Flight.
