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

Send us Fan Mail 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.
