Tiny Habits are a band who buzz with a special kind of magic, an organic alchemy that has swiftly propelled the trio into a rarified artistic realm. As Maya Rae, Cinya Khan, and Judah Mayowa prepare to unveil their highly-anticipated debut album '
All For Something', their journey represents a masterclass in songcraft, vulnerability and the profound power of creative kinship.
Rae is home in Boston, preparing to graduate from Berklee College of Music, the hallowed grounds where Tiny Habits were formed. Khan is basking in family time during a visit to Florida, while Mayowa is savouring friendship in Boston before they embark on their upcoming European tour run.
United yet distinct, the three share an innate collaborative symmetry at Tiny Habits' core. Each member writes, arranges and lends their voice to the lush harmonic tapestries that have attracted audiences worldwide. It's a potent fusion crystallised over three years of creative immersion and personal growth - the pinnacle so far their most recent headline tour across North America, their first ever as a headline act. "It was the most heartwarming and rewarding experience," Rae gushes.
Tiny Habits' origin tale shines like a beacon - three kindred artistic spirits converging at their shared alma mater in fateful fashion. "We all met at Berklee College of Music here in Boston. It was during Covid, so school was basically online, so we kind of met on Instagram," Rae recounts. "I invited Judah and Cinya over one night after quarantine to sing with me in my dorm, and the rest is history! We made a bunch of videos that semester, and a year later, we were officially a band."
