Family Background: Maya Jupiter is a Mexican and Australian rapper, songwriter, and radio personality. She was born in Mexico to a Mexican father and a Turkish mother, and moved to Melbourne when she was one year old, and Sidney when she was four. Maya is married to singer Aloe Blacc.
In an interview with Tony Mitchell, Maya said:
I was one year old when I came to Australia, so I’m pretty much an Aussie. They call me cangurita in Mexico. I’ve been back a couple of times, but not to the place where I was born. My mum is Turkish. My father was working in the city of La Paz when I was born, which is in Baja California, but he wasn’t from there. All my family is from Soleuo, which is a city in Beunavato, just north of Mexico City.
