Maya Jupiter's artivism began in her early 20's when she facilitated hip-hop songwriting workshops with under served youth in her hometown of Sydney, Australia. She was a VJ on channel [V] and host of the triple j hip hop show.
Now raising a family in Los Angeles, Maya Jupiter is on the advisory board at Peace Over Violence, a rape crisis education and prevention center, and has been a spokesperson for their Denim Day Campaign. In 2014, she was recognized with their Voice Over Violence Humanitarian Award.
She also co-founded Artivist Entertainment with Aloe Blacc, Quetzal Flores, Alberto Lopez and Veronica Gonzalez to provide support and produce events for artists who have chosen to use their work to promote positive social transformation.
Maya Jupiter released her third solo album in 2018 produced by Grammy Award Winner, Quetzal Flores, titled “Never Said Yes.” An album that sits at the intersection of feminism, activism and revolutionary motherhood. "Never Said Yes" focuses on University Campus Rape and talks about consent, proclaiming "I don't need to say no, cos I never said yes." The music video directed by Kimberly Bautista of Justice For My Sister, was used in the 2016 Denim Day Campaign.
