Following the release of her latest single, “fever dream,” mxmtoon is announcing her North American dawn & dusk tour today, with support from Temporex, Verzache, and Claud. Her last US tour sold out months in advance and demand is already through the roof for her next round of dates. mxmtoon will kick things off May 8th in San Diego at House of Blues, playing songs from her 2019 debut album the masquerade, as well as new material. There will be an Artist + Spotify Presale this Wednesday January 29th at 10AM local time, and tickets will be on sale to the general public on January 31st at 10AM local. Tickets will be available HERE.  Over the past couple of years, Maia has built a remarkable bond with her audience entirely on the strength of her resonant songwriting and unaffected presence. Her 2018 debut EP plum blossom clocked more than 100 million streams on Spotify alone—not bad for songs recorded by herself in her parents’ guest room. She’s now amassing millions of followers and subscribers across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, making a point of using her ever-growing platform to speak out on issues close to her heart. “As a young bisexual woman of color from a family of immigrants, a lot of current events directly affect who I am,” says Maia, who’s mixed Chinese-American. “I firmly believe it’s my obligation and opportunity to speak on issues that affect us all.”

"fever dream"

Since the release of the masquerade—as well as its accompanying original Spotify podcast and graphic novel—mxmtoon’s following has only continued to flourish. Boosted by glowing praise from the likes of The New York Times and The New Yorker (who lauded her songwriting for showing an “emotional sophistication that reminded us that there are some things we never outgrow”), the album’s breakout success recently saw Maia embarking on her first-ever UK tour. In addition, she’s now gearing up to support Lauv on his forthcoming spring tour of Asia.     With new music already in the works 2020 is already shaping up to be a massive year for mxmtoon.

"seasonal depression"

Press for the masquerade…  "...a Bedroom Pop Empire in the Making” - The New York Times  "On the masquerade, which features songs written over the last two years, she's offering the most polished picture of herself yet. And it's one that, like all of her music, succeeds based on her candor and intelligence.” - NYLON "mxmtoon Might Be the Songwriter a New Generation Needs...Armed with a ukulele and a sardonic charm, the TikTok star paints a portrait how it feels to be lonely, in love and connected at once...the masquerade is comforting twee-pop that wrings out genuine pathos from mxmtoon’s internet celebrity. She’s made a portrait of what it’s like to be lonely, in love and perpetually connected, while at the same time filled with sly, painfully earnest observations.” - Paste  Follow mxmtoon: Facebook | Spotify | Instagram | Twitter | TikTok | YouTube | SoundCloud | Apple Music
