Poursuivant des études de littérature, linguistique et latin, Maeva Da Cruz écrit par ailleurs sur des thématiques allant de la musique classique aux cultures dites subversives. Dans un champ plutôt sociologique, ses recherches se concentrent autour des questions relatives à l’identité de genre, sociale et collective. Particulièrement sensible à l’art lyrique, elle se livre à l’écoute et à l’étude du répertoire opératique avec passion. Sa fréquentation assidue des salles de concerts et maisons d'opéra lui permet d'affiner ses connaissances et sa perception des œuvres, situant ainsi la musique au cœur de ses préoccupations.
