Mayu started her classical western music studies on the cello when she was 6. She discovered modal music at the age of 18. Enchanted by the power and the beauty of these musical traditions she decided to focus on this style and began her musical journey with her cello through the Arabic, Turkish and Azeri traditions.

She traveled to learn from masters of Ottoman music in Greece (Evgenios Voulgaris), and Azeri music in Azerbaijan (Elshan Mansurov).

She performed and recorded various kinds of styles with many ensembles and artists (Piris Eliyahu, Shai Maestro, Ofer Mizrahi, Dudu Tassa, Soloist with the east and west orchestra, Itamar Doari, Ross Daly, Kelly Thoma). 

These days she is creating her own music that is inspired by the traditions and people that crossed her way.
