Mayari

Hey, I'm Mayari. I am a producer/performer and I make electronic music to connect to spirit.
My EP “Prayers 2 God” was inspired by grief, and as part of my healing process I have returned to my Filipino Culture which like many indigenous cultures is inherently spiritual (pre-colonisation). As a second generation Aussie, my music is heavily influenced by my unique worldview which dances between the indigenous and western world. The music is designed to take the listener on an emotive journey and to marry the dance floor to spirit.

At times the music is atmospheric, ethereal and immersive and other times it is primal and dance driven.

Notable live performance credits include Now or Never Festival and supporting the likes of Juno Mamba, Elle Shimada and Honeysmack. Releases under current project MAYARI and previous project "Ali Adriano" have been featured on RRR, PBS, FBI Radio (Full Rotation), Triple J and Area 3000. My work has seen collaborations with Aphir, Elle Shimada, Juno Mamba and modular synth wizards B.C. Slumber and Brett Little.

I've also been lucky enough to have been selected by Nick Littlemore (Empire of the Sun) as winner of the Triple J songwriting comp (2021), and to have been the recipient of several grants/ a scholarship to study at the Electronic Music School in Berlin lastyear. I hold a Bachelor of Film and Television (Swinburne University) as well as Bachelor of Music Production (Collarts University) in which I received the Academic Excellence Award (2023).
