BIOGRAPHY
Maita

Portland indie-folk songstress MAITAs "focused, American realist psalm...sets her far apart from her indie contemporaries (American Standard Time).

Her debut EP, Waterbearer, is a rallying cry for the quiet warrior, the inquisitive seeker and the fierce lover. Produced by Matthew Zeltzer, mixed by John Askew (Neko Case), and featuring some of Portlands finest musicians.
The arrangements on Waterbearer are minimalist yet rich, featuring hypnotic finger-picked guitar patterns flecked with washes of cello and guitar, with MAITAs haunting melodies and beguiling poetry front and center. Waterbearer stands as a testament to the beautiful mess that we call life.

MAITA is an artist who understands the perilous act of creation and authorship, and we witness her lyrical negotiations of this on Waterbearerthe tenuous line between reverence and doubt, between worship and desecration. Her haunting voice and lush, off-center melodies guide the listener through her musings, at once deliberate and confessional.

After years of writing and honing her abilities in private, MAITA has been sharpening her songs on the road, playing over 200 showsincluding two month-long European tourin 2016 and 2017. MAITA is currently hard at work on her debut full length, which is slated to be released in 2018.
