BIO
Maia Wilson (born Maia Nkenge Wilson) voiced Bulda in Disney's animated film, Frozen.
Wilson has minor roles in a few well-known Broadway shows, such as The Book of Mormon and Rent. She has also served as understudies.
In 1996, she served as an understudy for Joanne Jerfferson in the musical Rent, and as a replacement for "the woman with bags", Mrs. Jerfferson, and the ensemble. She worked on the musical for twelve years.
In 2005, she played three roles in the musical, The Color Purple: Church Lady/Jarene, Ensemble, and Daisy. She served there for three years, in both the 2008 World Premiere in Los Angeles and on Broadway in 2009.
A year after The Color Purple ended, Wilson was a performer in 9 to 5: The Musical.
Recently, in late 2012, Wilson sang an impromptu version of Once on This Island's "Waiting For Life" at Broadway Sessions.
