Donna Maya had to leave Palermo for different reasons and moved to Hamburg. Allthough she still is responsible for a special section of the "family business" she got focused on her music talent. Meanwhile she relocated to Berlin where she operates under the name of Rudel Records.

Donna Maya's music combines jungle flavored beats, deep rooted bass lines and sneaky sound fills blended with subtle harmonic shifts to an unique assemblage that builds its own vision of urban music. Her audio cuts create an exceptional atmosphere that guides everybody directly into an universe of sparkling sound jewels. She released various albums and cds, composed turntable concerts for philharmonic orchestra and DJ as well as contributions for soundtracks like the film "kurz und schmerzlos" by Fatih Akim. Her outstanding music artwork led to invitations to perform at Sonar in Barcelona, Transmediale in Berlin and at the opening ceremony for the renowned "Pinakothek der Moderne" in Munich.
