Paris-born singer/songwriter Mai Lan Doky is emerging as one of the new faces of European R&B and Soul. Known for her natural and organic voice, she is often compared to a modern-day Sade. As the daughter of renowned jazz pianist and producer Niels Lan Doky, Mai grew up immersed in jazz royalty, which naturally influenced her musical vocabulary. She recently released her EP Girls’ Talk (2025), following her 2018 EP Days, both created in close collaboration with her twin brother Ken Linh Doky. Mai has also appeared as a guest artist with Sister Sledge, Harvey Mason, and Rolling Stones bassist Darryl Jones.
