Musician mxmtoon shares that she will begin a new podcast titled 365 days with mxmtoon. Each day for a full year, the Oakland-born, Brooklyn-based artist known as Maia will discuss the most interesting, weird, and funny facts and events of that particular day in history.
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.”
Mxmtoon also recently released her Dusk EP, which is the companion EP to her previously-released Dawn EP. Maia recently turned 20-years-old, and in addition to continuing her music, she has used her voice and platform as an activist through social media platforms including TikTok, Twitch, and Discord.
Maia has been doing more than her best to “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 recent interest in activism. She is also using her voice to empower the LGTBQ+ community, Black Lives Matter, and even 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.”
The podcast, in partnership with Talkhouse, will launch on September 14th. You can subscribe to daily episodes here.
Her next is her Dusk EP out on October 1st.
