Maya Manuela

Duxbury, Massachusetts

Maya Manuela is an indie-pop artist originally from Duxbury, Massachusetts, raised on an oyster farm before relocating to Nashville in 2019 to pursue music full-time. Her work blends intimate, emotionally precise songwriting with warm, modern production—songs that feel confessional without losing their pop instincts. In 2023, Maya gained viral traction with her breakout single “Multiverse,” sparking two East Coast tours, festival appearances including Levitate Music Festival and Musicians Corner, and support slots for artists such as Angie McMahon. Her momentum continued with her debut album American Doll (2025), a candid and self-aware body of work that explores desire, disillusionment, and identity with quiet confidence. Named Musicbed’s Artist of the Year in 2025, Maya Manuela has emerged as a compelling new voice in indie pop—equal parts tender, incisive, and unafraid to tell the truth.
