About Mai

Beautiful live music tailored to your love story, creating unforgettable moments for you and your guests to cherish.
Acoustic trio
Newport

Formed while studying music at university, our band brings together years of professional performance experience and a shared passion for creating unforgettable live music. Between us, we've performed at festivals across the UK, worked extensively in jazz, funk and function bands, and regularly play at private events and live venues. We believe that great live music is about more than just playing songs—it's about creating moments that people remember. Whether it's an intimate ceremony, relaxed drinks reception or a packed dancefloor at the end of the night, we pride ourselves on delivering heartfelt performances tailored to every couple. With a diverse repertoire, professional approach and genuine love for what we do, we're dedicated to helping make your special day truly unforgettable. Music has been a huge part of our lives for as long as we can remember. What started as a passion quickly became a career, leading us to pursue formal music education and professional training. Studying music at university gave us the opportunity to develop our skills as performers, musicians and collaborators, while also gaining valuable experience performing in a wide variety of settings and genres. From contemporary pop and rock to jazz, soul and funk, our musical backgrounds allow us to create performances that feel both polished and personal. Since graduating, we've continued to perform regularly and have built extensive experience entertaining audiences of all sizes. Our performing highlights include appearances at festivals across the UK, such as the Isle of Wight Festival and Chichester Summer Ball, alongside countless events and private celebrations. Performing in professional jazz and function bands has taught us how to read a room, adapt to different audiences and create the perfect atmosphere for every occasion. These experiences have shaped us into versatile performers who can move seamlessly from a relaxed acoustic set during a drinks reception to energetic crowd-pleasers. What we love most about performing is the connection that music creates. Some of our favourite moments have been watching guests sing along with friends and family, or helping create memories that will be talked about long after the event has ended. We never take for granted the privilege of being part of such important occasions. Professionalism is at the heart of everything we do. We understand how much planning goes into a wedding or special event, and we aim to make the entertainment side as smooth and stress-free as possible. From clear communication and reliable planning to high-quality performances on the day, we're committed to delivering an experience that exceeds expectations. Above all, we're passionate about creating a soundtrack that reflects you. Every event is unique, and we love working closely with our clients to ensure the music feels personal, meaningful and memorable. Whether you're looking for elegant background music, acoustic favourites or an evening of celebration, we'd be honoured to be part of your special day.

It was an absolute pleasure to have Maisy Soo Dean headline our Platform One 25th Anniversary Fundraiser. From the very first note, she brought an incredible energy to the room and completely captivated the audience. Her vocals, stage presence, and connection with the crowd made her stand out as a true professional.

We aim to be as flexible as possible to ensure everything runs smoothly. The best you can do is let us know in timings and changes and we can try and work around it!

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

We will usually set up one hour beforehand. As soon as everything is set up, we can provide a free playlist service for atmosphere until our scheduled start time.

Can you roam around while you perform?

Unfortunately are microphones and gear are all wired so apart from the small surrounding area cannot roam far!

Our PA is included in our quote! For the trio we will require a larger area of space which will be discussed!
