Mayo Creative Studios and Consultancy
Mayo Creative Studios and Consultancy formerly known as Mayo Ortiz Music Studio was founded in April 2017 by Mary Anne “Mayo” Ortiz. It started as a small private music studio in Dumaguete City, Philippines, with only 5 students. It later expanded and had a satellite studio in Dapitan City, a 4-hour boat ride away from Dumaguete City.
Mayo was the only music instructor at that time, so she was patiently but passionately traveling from island to island. When she moved back to Luzon in 2018, she continued giving choral workshops to church choirs and doing private music teaching. When the pandemic hit in 2020, she realized that there was a need for people to connect through the arts other platform types, so she shifted to fully conducting music lessons online.
The studio had students of different ages ranging from 3 to 73 years old from around the world –the US, Europe, Australia, and parts of Asia. It was always her students’ joy and enthusiasm to learn and express themselves that inspired her to keep going up to this day. Whether the lessons are conducted face-to-face or online, one thing is for sure - music and the creative arts heal, connect and nurture people.

OUR COMMUNITY WORK
Mayo Shares
One of Mayo’s personal missions in life is to share the abundance and beauty of life to the ones in need. She took on the challenge of extending this mission to her company.
Mayo spent eight years in Dumaguete City doing volunteer work for the community. She witnessed the need for a more sustainable source of daily living assistance specifically for children in need. She used to go around Silliman University talking to her fellow students and professors about the children’s situation and would ask them to pledge what they are willing to contribute on a monthly basis. She would then go around and collect the pledges and would use the money to buy hygiene essentials like shampoo, toothbrush, sanitary napkins, etc.
Mayo personally chose Little Children of the Philippines (LCP) as the company’s first charity beneficiary. It operates under its parent organization, Little Children of the World (LCW), a Christian ministry dedicated to helping street children and children at risk in the country. These children are victims of extreme poverty and/or neglect, and are vulnerable to abuse. Unfortunately, this went on for only a few months. Since then, the kids at LCP have silently stayed in Mayo’s heart with prayers that one day, she will be able to help them more sustainably.

Mayo’s mission now carries on with her company’s expansion. Under the Mayo Shares program, 5% of the tutorial and consultation fees paid for by the clients, will be allotted to LCP.
