Sakamoto Maaya got her break at the age of 15 when she lent her voice to Kanzaki Hitomi in the anime series Tenkuu no Escaflowne. Her debut single, "Yakusoku wa Iranai" was the opening theme for the same anime. The release was a beginning of a longtime collaboration between her and composer Kanno Yoko. In that time, she also started to write lyrics for her songs. With Kanno, Sakamoto released a lot of singles which are still favored by fans still today, notably "Kiseki no Umi" and "Hemisphere". Sakamoto also appears in a television drama and musicals, she is known for her role as Éponine in the Japanese adaption of the musical "Les Misérables".

In 2003, Sakamoto and Kanno announced their breakup after Sakamoto's fourth album "Shounen Alice". Two years later, Sakamoto released her first non-Kanno produced single and began to collaborate with other composers to have more creative control in her singing career. In 2009, they re-united with the single "Triangler", which was used as Macross Frontier's first opening theme. With the popularity of the series and a warm welcome from their fans, "Triangler" reached #3 on the Oricon weekly charts. In that time, she also wrote lyrics for Nakajima Megumi's song "Ao no Ether" which she self-covered on her sixth album "Kazeyomi" with Kanno Yoko on the piano. In 2009, she will retake her role as Éponine in the new adaption of "Les Misérables".
