Maja Mannila on vaikuttava nuori jazz/soul-laulaja, pianisti ja säveltäjä. Yhtyeensä kanssa hän esittää omia, englanninkielisiä kappaleita, jotka ovat tyyliltään sekoitus r'n'b-tä, soulia, jazzia ja gospel-musiikkia. Muusikkoperheen kasvatilla on varma ote musisointiin samalla kun hän painottaa vapauden ja hauskanpidon olevan tärkeää musiikin luomisessa ja soittamisessa. Tulevaisuudessa Mannila tähtää levyttämiseen ja kansainväliseen keikkailuun sekä yhtyeen kanssa että sooloartistina.
Maja on noteerattu englantilaisen rumpali Richard Spavenin ja laulaja Anthony Strongin toimesta, jotka ovat pyytäneet Majaa esiintymään kanssaan. Majan kesäkuussa 2022 julkaistu debyyttialbumi "Up & Down" sai kiitettävän vastaanoton kotimaisten medioiden keskuudessa. Hänen toinen albumi "Seasons" julkaistiin 16. marraskuuta 2023.
Maja Mannila Triossa Mannilan kanssa musisoivat Severi Sorjonen (rummut) ja Johannes Granroth (basso).
