Maiah Manser

Los Angeles-based, by way of Seattle, singer, producer and visual artist Maiah Manser lands at The Lower Third, London on 24 September 2026. Her project sits between alternative pop and atmospheric electronics, built around a voice that shifts from close-up intimacy to widescreen harmonies. On stage she layers synths, vocal loops and cinematic textures, exploring the tension between organic instruments and digital grain. The set shapes songs with dense arrangements, shadowy hues and airy pads, carried by a clear sense of narrative.

Manser launched her solo path in the mid-2010s after meeting Mary Lambert during her studies, then toured as a backing vocalist on stages tied to Sam Smith, Ariana Grande and Pharrell Williams. Her work also threads through the screen, with contributions to The Voyeurs, Devil in Ohio and Mayfair Witches. In London she brings that same cinematic approach to pop, folding storytelling into production and performance. The live show leans toward concise melodies, slow-burning builds and production details that favour mood, space and contrast, with the voice at the centre.
