Maria Uzor ‘Fantasyland’ Album Show + support

Esoteric electronic artist Maria Uzor’s music lands like a pirate broadcast from a distant corner of

the galaxy.

Inspired by both dark and light, order and chaos, power and vulnerability, she blends genres into new worlds, mixing electro, trip-hop, proto-rave, bass, and techno to create a soundtrack for the outsider in search of dance floor epiphany.

Her live shows exhibit the kind of tension that comes from both fearlessness and a deep desire

for human connection. Her music, part repetition, part reinvention, calls to never lose sight of the

human inside the machine.

Born in Norwich, UK, to a Barbadian mother and Nigerian father, Maria grew up to the sounds of reggae and African music in the home, and punk, indie and hip-hop in the world outside. A black girl in a white environment, curious, observant, and with an increasing desire to carve out a

landscape for herself in a world in which she had no reflection, her music bends and twists reality

to shape a world in which she, and anyone else who want’s to join, can feel at home.

Maria began singing and playing guitar in her first band, garage punk 4-piece The Incidentals in

the mid-noughties, before moving on to the psych-witch solo project Girl In A Thunderbolt in

2008. She then formed the post-punk dance duo Sink Ya Teeth in 2017 to critical acclaim.

She’s been producing and self-releasing under her own name since 2021, gaining support from

Jamz Supernova, Amy Lame, BBC Introducing, and 6 Music.

Uzor has released 3 EPs and one full-length album (‘Soft Cuts’ - 2023) to date, with her second

album, ‘Fantasyland’, coming out on 3rd September 2026.

She’s collaborated with Acid Klaus (Eccentronic Research Council / Moonlandingz), A Certain

Ratio, Chk Chk Chk, and Baba Ali, and has remixed a number of artists including Rozi Plain, The

Umlauts, and Floral Image.

Performing nationwide and in Europe, she’s opened for Young Fathers, Black Midi, Snapped

Ankles and Benefits amongst others, and played stages at The Great Escape, Nox Orae,

Grauzone, Green Man, Manchester Psych Fest, Mutations, and Focus Wales.
