Secretary, Co-founder

Maya Oum was born in the United States and first came to Cambodia in 2009 in search of original Cambodian music. She realized early that beyond simply discovering this music, she also wanted to bring it to the awareness of other people. In pursuit of this she made an early financial investment that gave the CVMA the chance to grow in it's early days.
