Ep#96: The Art Of Authentic Production In A Post-Internet World: In conversation with Maria Uzor

Send us a text

In a world that’s always online, how do we stay true to ourselves as artists? This week on Girls Twiddling Knobs, we tackle this question with the fiercely original electronic music producer Maria Uzor.

Growing up as a Black artist in a predominantly White area of the UK, Maria often felt like an outsider. But she turned that feeling into a sound that’s bold, raw, and unmistakably hers. Join us as we explore how Maria channels her unique experiences into a blend of basement grittiness and cosmic vision.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

✨ How Maria creates from an authentic place despite social media pressures
🎛️ An inside look at her production process for her album, Soft Cuts
🎤 Why live performances help her reclaim space as a Black female artist
🎚️ The highs and lows of going solo versus releasing on a label

It’s an inspiring chat about resilience, authenticity, and creating art that truly matters.
