Maiah Manser

Los Angeles–based singer, producer and visual artist Maiah Manser brings her cinematic pop to The Deaf Institute in Manchester on 23 September 2026. After early days in Seattle and a formative stint touring with Mary Lambert, she has shaped a sound where intimate vocals ride dense, atmospheric electronics. Expect contrasts: dark synth textures and airy pads, sharpened beats and choral layers, storytelling that nods to ambient and film music.

Her voice sits at the center, moving from close whisper to clear, layered harmonies, often treated as an instrument in its own right. Live, she threads ambient swells, pulsing bass and minimalist hooks, building tension then letting it breathe. You may recognize her tone from screen work on The Voyeurs, Devil in Ohio and Mayfair Witches; on stage, that sensibility turns into a set that shifts like a score, from slow-burn openings to measured crescendos. New tracks sit alongside earlier releases, with visuals and sound design kept focused, drawing you into a space between organic and synthetic.
