As a longtime fan of Maya Jama, I‘m thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce this incredibly talented TV and radio host. Maya is best known for her hosting duties on some of Britain‘s most popular shows, including BBC‘s Peter Crouch: Save Our Summer, Channel 4‘s The Circle, and ITV‘s Love Island. But there‘s so much more to love about Maya!

Her Early Life

Maya was born on August 14, 1994 in Bristol, England. Her mother Sadie was just 17 years old when she had Maya. Growing up, Maya has been open about the financial struggles her single mom faced. But Sadie worked hard to provide and encouraged Maya‘s interests in performing. As a kid, Maya landed roles in various commercials and took dance and acting classes.

At Cotham School, Maya excelled in her academics. She became interested in broadcasting after landing a role on local Bristol radio station Ujima Radio when she was just 14!

Launching Her Broadcasting Career

Maya‘s broadcasting career really took off when she moved to London at 16. She got small acting gigs but ultimately decided presenting was her real passion. In 2012, she got her first big break hosting MTV‘s coverage of music festivals. This allowed her to interview major artists backstage and get comfortable on camera.

Her talents were noticed by BBC Radio 1 after she hosted MTV segments. In 2015, she hosted a weekly show on Radio 1 – a huge accomplishment! More TV hosting jobs came rolling in. From 2016-2018, she won over audiences as host of the ultra popular reality show The Circle on Channel 4.

But in 2020, Maya reached a new level of fame when she took over hosting Love Island from Caroline Flack. Love Island is one of the most high-profile hosting gigs in the UK, and Maya has made the role her own with her magnetic personality.

Maya‘s Other Projects

Aside from her TV and radio work, Maya has expanded her brand as an influencer, designer, and entrepreneur. She launched clothing collections with PrettyLittleThing and Asos that reflect her unique sense of style.

During the pandemic in 2020, Maya created her own line of face masks called MIJ Masks. She donated proceeds to charity and helped address the nationwide mask shortage.

Maya also co-hosts a popular soccer podcast called Matchday Vibes. As a female voice in the male-dominated sports world, she brings a fresh perspective.

She even found time to launch her own makeup line In The Style Beauty in 2022! The vegan and cruelty-free products have been a huge hit.

Why We Love Maya Jama

As you can see, Maya is a multitalented media powerhouse! Here‘s just a few of the reasons she‘s earned so many devoted fans:

  • She‘s an inspiring role model. Maya uses her platform to speak out on issues like racial injustice and mental health. She empowers women, promotes body positivity, and stands up for what‘s right.
  • Her presenting style is irresistible. Maya has an infectious smile and bubbly personality that makes anyone feel at ease. She‘s cheeky, spontaneous, and SO entertaining to watch!
  • She keeps achieving new heights. From radio DJ at 14 to hosting Love Island at 26 – her work ethic and ambition are incredible. There‘s no limit to what she can do!
