A
gig
held at Mr Wolfs
on Thursday 19th October. The event starts at 21:00.
Maya Blandy is a 21 year old Portuguese-British singer-songwriter, melding sounds of disco, jazz, soul and pop. Raised in Madeira, she has just graduated from Manchester University with a BA (Hons) in Music & Drama. Maya has been collaborating with Jake Wherry – founding member and producer of UK hip-hop pioneers, The Herbaliser, since 2021. A family connection brought them together in the studio – Jake’s music and production, combined with Maya’s narrative songwriting and melodies inspired by her love of 70s disco and soul (think The Emotions, Dusty Springfield, Donny Hathaway, as well more modern RnB such as Erykah Badhu and Cleo Sol), proving to be a stellar fusion. Their first release ‘Stardust’ (May 2023), featuring legendary American dance and house singer – Kathy Brown, has been well received, with plays on BBC Radio 6 - both The Huey Show and Craig Charles’s Funk & Soul Show; BBC Introducing Manchester; Totally Wired; 1BTN & Radio Oxigenio (Portuguese national station). The extended house remix by Camden Cassa & Jake Herbaliser is currently moving up the DJ charts. Their second release, ‘Disco Nights’, is planned for September, and will be followed by their first album before the end of the year, to coincide with Maya’s first independent UK tour.
