Los Angeles-based vocalist, producer, and visual artist Maiah Manser brings her unique cinematic pop to the Bovenzaal. Growing up with a rich musical background from choir singing to jazz and violin, Manser creates arrangements that feel both intimate and grand.
Following the success of her track 'With a Smile', which garnered tens of millions of views on social media, she now presents her second EP: 'Fifth Dimension Part 1'. This self-produced work is a sonic memoir that questions thoughts and reality, inspired by the concept of the fifth dimension as a boundary connecting people, time, and space. With influences ranging from the orchestral sounds of the film 'Fantasia' to modern drum-and-bass, Manser invites you to escape into her dreamy and sometimes dark pop world.
Maiah is an openly queer artist and a vocal advocate for the community. Her recent tracks, like "Feeling It All," were specifically inspired by her experiences in underground gay clubs and the liberation of "dancing with her girlfriend." Her music often explores themes of identity, freedom, and connection, making her performances a powerful and affirming experience.
