Photo Credit: Blythe Thomas  365 days with mxmtoon is a daily podcast brought to you by mxmtoon, artist/songwriter/actor/designer/gamer/simp. Each day for an entire year the Oakland-raised, Brooklyn-based artist known as Maia will take you through the most interesting, weird, and funny events of that day in history. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll learn a ton of new things. 365 days with mxmtoon isn’t the first time mxmtoon has dipped her toes in the podcast world. Last year she released the hugely successful 21 days with mxmtoon from Spotify Studios.  Maia tells us “365 days with mxmtoon is a daily podcast with a focus on world history, music history, and my own life too! the goal with each episode is to hopefully inspire listeners to stay curious and think critically about the events that have brought us to where we are today. i believe it’s my responsibility to help shed light on important issues, and this podcast can hopefully motivate others to spark a conversation with their communities as we venture through the miscellaneous nature of our world.”

Released in partnership with Talkhouse, the first episode will be launching September 14th and you can subscribe to daily episodes here.

Aside from world podcast domination mxmtoon has also recently announced her dusk EP. It’s the companion EP to her previously released dawn which came out in the spring. dusk is an exciting new direction suggesting that the sky is truly the limit for Maia's artistry. The world's changed a lot since dawn was released, and so has mxmtoon's life. She recently turned 20 years old and, along with continuing to work on music, has dove headlong into the digital world by using her voice as an activist through social media platforms like TikTok, Twitch, and Discord and people are listening. Already her music has amassed almost half a billion streams and she has more than 4 million followers across her socials, including 2.2M on TikTok, 750K on YouTube and 75K on Twitch.  From political explainer videos to charity stream sessions, Maia has been doing more than her best to, as she puts it, "keep some sort of normalcy amongst the chaos. These platforms are a way to connect and have conversations with people in a world where I don't get to see them face-to-face for a while. It's made me closer with my audience as a result."  "If 2020 has proved anything, it's that the world can keep throwing things at you even when it's already crazy and horrible," Maia continues while discussing her online activism, which has included speaking her mind and educating her fans on Twitter and TikTok. Maia is using her voice to empower the LGTBQ+ community, Black Lives Matter, and has been a vocal opponent against the Trump administration. "Speaking out on issues I believe in has always been incredibly important to me, especially in this time where being proactive is more important than ever. It's about fighting for the issues that are really important and doing what we can for the world."

"bon iver" Video Praise for mxmtoon: "...a Bedroom Pop Empire in the Making” - The New York Times  “Mxmtoon is an 18-year old singer-songwriter from Oakland who's amassed a sizable following on Twitter and YouTube on the strength of her endearingly intimate presence” - NPR  "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  "the masquerade is a deeply human album, one unshackled by any pretense or notion of the 19-year-old artist’s ensuing fame... a ten-track run that plays with themes of lo-fi indie rock, jumps headfirst into soaring indie pop, dips into nostalgic, swaying R&B, and finds its footing in heartbreaking ballads, all while staying grounded by mxmtoon’s gift for poignant lyricism.” - Bandcamp  "the masquerade is a deeply human album, one unshackled by any pretense or notion of the 19-year-old artist’s ensuing fame... a ten-track run that plays with themes of lo-fi indie rock, jumps headfirst into soaring indie pop, dips into nostalgic, swaying R&B, and finds its footing in heartbreaking ballads, all while staying grounded by mxmtoon’s gift for poignant lyricism.” - Ones To Watch  "The ukulele-toting singer brings her wry sense of humour and diary-entry lyricism to her debut record, recalling the lo-fi relatability of Frankie Cosmos. She's charming, candid and unafraid to delve into some tougher themes…”  - Exclaim! Follow mxmtoon: Facebook | Spotify | Instagram | Twitter | TikTok | YouTube | SoundCloud
