Maylee Todd is a dynamic and multi-faceted artist, based in Toronto. Her creativity derives its inspiration a wide range of artistic disciplines: songwriting, production, film, performance art, and design. Maylee’s music combines organic and electronic forms, including elements of boogie, bossa, space funk, psychedelia and soul. She is truly a free spirit who brings all of these seemingly disparate influences into honest, soulful, harmonious yet uncompromising vibrations.
In concert, Maylee delivers a diverse repertoire of soulful tunes with an infectiously charismatic and joyful stage presence, full of warm humour and a performance art aesthetic. More than just a concert, Maylee Todd live is a creative experience that leaves an indelible impact.
In 2010, Maylee released her debut album ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’. The album received glowing reviews from the likes of NOW Magazine and The Globe and Mail. Its lead singles, ‘Summer Sounds’ and ‘Aerobics In Space’, have been played internationally on J-Wave Tokyo, BBC Radio 1 London, and Radio Nova in Paris. Her follow-up single, ‘Aerobics in Space’, earned her an online cult following thanks to its quirky and outrageous video treatment. The song was also featured on a Serato Control Vinyl Pressing in 2011, in collaboration with Do Right Music. In February 2012, Do Right released a new single, ‘Hieroglyphics’, on limited-edition 7” vinyl pressing which sold out immediately and further confirmed her reputation as a soul-funk songstress to watch out for.
Amongst the high-profile stages on which Maylee has performed include: Transmusicales (Rennes, France) MIDEM (Cannes, France), c/o pop (Cologne, Germany), Pop Montreal, and in her home city of Toronto at Harbourfront Centre. She has toured in the U.K., France, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium, sharing the stage with the likes of Janelle Monae, Lee Fields, Aloe Blacc, Esthero, Little Dragon, and The Budos Band.
Her second full-length album is due out in the summer of 2012.
