If you ask Maylee how she manages to play the Paraguayan harp as well as she does the guitar, she’ll tell you “anyone can do it.” But we’ve tried and that’s not true. You may know her from the humorous interactive aerobics events called "Sweatshop Hop" which have aired on Much More Music or from her velvety vocals on the track ‘For What it’s Worth’ in a Telus Mobility commercial. She’s also a regular at Second City.  Maylee’s debut album 'Choose Your Own Adventure' is out on June 15th.
