It’s not everyday that one gets to speak with “The Most Beautiful Woman in Norway” - according to Elle Norway - but that’s just a bi-product of the fact that this episode’s guest is a multifaceted personality who has made successful inroads in the music, fashion, and modeling industries.
Maya Vik is a Norwegian bassist, songwriter and singer who - in addition to her previously mentioned skillset - is also infatuated with a sound that’s very near and dear to my nostalgic heartstrings: the late 80s and early 90s. Her newest release, Hustlebot leans strongly on the FM offerings of those years and achieves a compelling simulacrum of a time when youngsters clad in Guess jeans roamed America’s sprawling shopping malls.Maya - of course - infuses her own Nordic spin into the sound.
So, join us and find out more about how she juggles her many talents, the path that led her to the bass guitar, how she connected with the excellent producer, Initial Talk, and what her next plans are. Given Maya’s history so far, there’s no telling what surprises are in store.
