Today’s song is “Sylvia” by Mayda. This is off the Minneapolis’s Tusks in Furs which dropped this past Tuesday. Standing just 2 inches below 5 feet, Mayda is a triple minority hailing from the land of 10,000 Lakes. Adopted from South Korea, Mayda was raised by the typical Midwestern family only to become a not so “typical” young lady. She found a passion in rhythm and blues music at the tender age of 10 yrs. At 12 yrs, she taught herself Beatles tunes while at a cabin by a lake with some family friends. Since then, Mayda fell in love with writing and performing her own music. Mayda’s music is reminiscent of Prince’s R&B grooves. This song is great.
