MXMTOON | Portrait

Mxmtoon, also known as Maia, is an American singer-songwriter and YouTuber from Oakland, California. We discover the inspiration behind Maia’s music, art and how she came to share content online at the age of twelve. Always using her creativity as an outlet, she also hosts a podcast 365 days a year! We dive into mxmtoon’s newest EP, dawn, which challenged her to make a more optimistic group of songs, a definite departure from her more melancholy releases on ukelele. We then discuss other ways Maia fuels her creativity and the importance of collaboration for growth as an artist. And last but not least, tune in as we play mxmtoon's inspired cover of Radiohead’s CREEP to close the show. -----------------  LAUNCHLEFT OFFICIAL WEBSITE https://www.launchleft.com  LAUNCHLEFT PATREON https://www.patreon.com/LaunchLeft  TWITTER https://twitter.com/LaunchLeft  INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/launchleft/  FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/LaunchLeft  ---------------------  LaunchLeft is an alliance of left-of-center artists, a label, a podcast, a curation engine. LaunchLeft Podcast hosted by Rain Phoenix is an intentional space for Art and Activism that enlists famed creatives to launch emerging bands.
