In this episode of The Weekly Beat, Matoma welcomes UK Midlands artist Mae Hill, whose distinctive voice and fearless honesty are matched by a story of hustle and joy. Mae opens up about her early days busking to make ends meet, how she carved out her own sound, and why it's so important to keep the fun in the creative process.
The conversation dives into the deep bond she formed with her flatmate — both of them on the come-up, both dreaming big — and how surrounding herself with good people helped her stay grounded as she developed her artistry. With plenty of laughs, strong opinions, and real insight into what it means to grow while staying true to yourself, this episode offers a vibrant look into the mindset of an emerging artist who’s finding her rhythm on her own terms.
