Meet MaeThePirate – a seasoned musician and audio engineer with an impressive background in music production and live performance. Mae’s journey as a musician began at the tender age of 10 when she started tinkering with her sister’s piano. Despite being a somewhat inattentive student during her lessons, Mae found her passion in composing music and sharing her creations on Musescore. It wasn’t long before her signature easy-to-play piano music gained traction online, and at 12 years old she had earned
herself a sizable following of over 2000 fans. MaeThePirate’s unique stage name was inspired by her love for video games and her desire to embrace her heritage. Her last name distantly translates to Viking or Pirate, which is why she continues to use this name to this day. Her musical talents extend beyond composing and playing instruments – Mae is also proficient in audio programming and C# programming, skills she has leveraged to create her own music remixing programs and light displays for
her live shows.

After studying Electronic Production and Design at Berklee College of Music, Mae honed her craft by performing with her band at various venues before moving to Los Angeles to work in the film industry. As an experienced recordist and engineer, Mae has worked on numerous shows, including The L Word, Black Mirror, Ozark, and Sex Life. MaeThePirate’s music delves into the topics of mental illness and social media, and she aims to create a community where people feel comfortable discussing these issues. Her dance-pop sound incorporates her beloved cello in every song, and her uplifting lyrics transform negative aspects of life into
positives. Mae’s ultimate goal is to build a community where her music serves as a safe haven for those
seeking solace and escape
