Mayda
MAYDA Miller is a young yet seasoned Korean Adoptee multi-musician/artist/producer from the land of 10,000 Lakes. “Her R&B-infused pop is undeniably fresh, as she swings between pared-down acoustic struts, full-band funkadelic blasts, and electronic drumbeats and synth flourishes that would make the Purple One proud. The result is a slick, expansive, and evolving pop sound, aided in part by producer and mentor Michael Bland (who drummed with Prince in the early ’90s and currently plays with Nick Jonas) , whose Sonic Matrimony Collective label released MAYDA’s first full-length, The Interrogation, last year. The prolific young soul singer is just beginning her journey, but it’s hard not to anticipate big things from the petite yet larger-than-life pop songstress.” – (From Andrea Swensson, The Current) MAYDA’s music has been featured locally as well as internationally. MAYDA’s songs have been featured on Rachael Ray show, Good Morning America, KFC youtube, Reebok Seoul commercials, Jersey Shore, and cable networks such as Showtime and MTV.On a her 3-week tour in Seoul, MAYDA was able to meet her birth parents for the first time. In lieu of the performances, her trip was documented on public television as well as media print. MAYDA went on a 2-week tour debuting in Europe from Ireland, Germany, Copenhagen, Spain, to Sweden! MAYDA is releasing a brand new batch of songs in the beginning and end of this year in addition to collaborating with Theater Mu’s production of Cambodian Rock Band.
