New single – ‘Indecisive’ – Out 05 Apr 24

22-year-old Sunshine Coast singer-songwriter and prolific music machine Mayah is consolidating her more upbeat, electronic pop sound with her upcoming release Indecisive. Now five years into her professional music career, Mayah has played countless gigs both solo and with her fab rock band, and has hit over 600,000 collective streams on Spotify.  A natural-born songwriter, Mayah is an intriguing, intuitive, free-spirited talent with new sounds and songs constantly echoing in her head.

“Mayah has nailed her venture into EDM with this ethereal tune! Soulful and beautiful – it’s a winner!”

— Elly Chaney, Sea FM Drive Announcer/Producer

With Indecisive, which will be launched on 5th April, Mayah continues her contemporary pop journey, deftly blending hauntingly beautiful vocals, African-style dance beats, and a hint of the wilderness. Indecisive catches you off-guard with a contrasting uptempo yet eerie vibe that hits you right in the feels.

“Mayah continues to impress with her unique style and haunting vocals. Her growth is astounding, and this track proves it.”
— Dennis Dunstan, Frontrow Management

Mayah wrote the song in 2021 and explains:

“Indecisive is about being able to move on from broken relationships in a healthy way. The white wolf symbolizes independence, strength, freedom, and free-spiritedness, and this song is about finding your inner wolf and releasing the negativity that limits you and holds you back.”

Indecisive sees Mayah dip her toes into the world of deep drum’n’bass, using her RnB-tinged vocal merged with atmospheric synths, to touch on the ethereal.

“‘his is a track that easily stirs up late-night get-in-touch-with-your-inner-animal stylings.”
— Rhys Fox, Editor, The Point Music News

Recorded, mixed, and mastered with Bob Brierty at Bobos Productions, Indecisive is a crowd favorite at Mayah’s live shows on the Sunshine Coast, and she is delighted to share it through Gyrostream via all major online streaming platforms. The official lyric video clip will also be released on YouTube in April.

“‘Hauntingly ethereal, rustic vocals are melded to a liquified drum n bass groove that entwines around the senses with ghostly tones.’”
— Gareth Bryant, National Music Editor, Eyeball Media Australia

Mayah’s most recent single release, Traffic Light, which came out in October 2023, has reached over 66,000 views on her YouTube channel to date, is a semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition, and is always a crowd favorite at her live shows.

Mayah regularly performs her three-hour solo acoustic guitar show around Southeast Queensland. She performed with her band at The Yandina Street Fair in August 2023, Nurture Festival in May 2022 and 2023, Hostile Fest at Norton Music Factory in February 2023, The Paddo Tavern in Brisbane as support for British India in November 2022, The Caloundra Music Festival in September 2021 & 2022, The Pre-Gympie Music Muster in August 2022, and as the opening act for the Fabulous Caprettos featuring Daryl Braithwaite, Russell Morris, Jack Jones, and Rai Thistlethwayte at NightQuarter in 2022.
