about
Mecha Maiko is a synth pop project by Hayley Stewart. The name Mecha Maiko is a clever conceptual fusion of ‘mechas’ – massive, futuristic battle robots and ‘maikos’ – geishas in training. This dichotomy of hard-biting dystopian mechanics and the soft and tender performance of the maiko is meant to reflect the very same yin and yang dynamic found in her works. She began her musical career as the lead producer and a vocalist for synthwave act Dead Astronauts between 2011-2016. Dubbed "one of synthwave's most recognizable voices" by New Retro Wave, Hayley has written and sung on a number of tracks by the like of FM Attack, Perturbator, and Betamaxx. She is currently based in Toronto, Canada. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
