Mae Muller UK singer songwriter bringing her heart and soul into her art strongly supported by her parents, "Dad never misses a show" says Mae in the podcast. She is focusing on her and dedicated to building her life and dreams and encourages others to make sure you have your own life and don't give too much of yourself away because at the end of the day you are all you have. She speaks with such strength and passion and her music is inspired heavily by Rihanna who she would love to co-write with sometime.

Muller  is still only 21, but she describes herself as a “late bloomer,” having  only penned her first song two years ago. That track, “Close,” remains  on her SoundCloud to this day, a symbol of where she has come from and a  reminder of the raw emotion she puts into each of her relatable pop  bangers. Putting that song online, alongside short Rihanna & Frank  Ocean covers on Instagram, helped Mae get her first music industry  attention. Fast forward through a whirlwind 18 month period and she’s  released two EPs and has formed the sound of a versatile young artist  who speaks directly to and for her generation.

Music  for Mae begun when growing up in Kentish Town, North London, where it  was always a part of her life but not necessarily as a career path. “The  music was something I was always interested in and loved, but I didn't  go to music school or anything. I did it for fun. I've always enjoyed  creative writing, but I only started writing song 18 months ago.” she  recalls of her younger days. In fact, working behind her local bar  convinced her to pursue music further. “I had a few shitty jobs and  worked in a pub. When I was at the pub I kept thinking, 'I don't know  what I'm doing.' I uploaded a song that I'd written to Soundcloud and  that is when it all started. It was very quick.” Those early days remain  a constant influence though: “North London shaped me as a person and as  an artist. Every time I feel my accent slipping I have to cut it out  immediately.”
