001 - Mary Waters

Mary Waters is a Wales born, Bristol based singer, songwriter, photographer and multi-instrumentalist. Her two self recorded, produced and mixed singles 'Without Me' and 'Aftermath' act as a promising foundation for the 20 year old artist’s career. Both tracks use beat-driven, rich sonic landscapes paired with smooth vocals to tell personal stories about navigating change. The music she heard during long car rides growing up have had a large influence on her sound - these are artists such as Aretha Franklin, The Beach Boys, Bill Withers and Ella Fitzgerald. Later, she has become inspired by music from a diverse range of genres including Hip Hop, Jazz, Alternative Rock, Indie, Soul and R&B. During the episode we discuss how Mary sees herself as an artist, an overview of the  creative industries and her upcoming EP.
