Maeta's dreamily seductive take on contemporary R&B incorporates touches of loungey jazz and pop. She first introduced her satiny voice and style on a series of short-form releases culminating with the Kaytranada-produced "Teen Scene" featuring Buddy in 2020. It was included on her Roc Nation debut, the Habits EP, in 2021. Ty Dolla $ign and Lucky Daye were among the guests on her first full-length, 2023's highly collaborative When I Hear Your Name.
