Maya Blandy / Anglo-Portuguese independent soul artist / Leeds debut at Hyde Park Book Club (The Snug) on 04.09.2026
Maya Blandy is an Anglo-Portuguese singer-songwriter blending soul, jazz and contemporary pop. Inspired by artists such as Sade, Dua Lipa and Bruno Mars, she combines soulful vocals, elegant songwriting and modern production with influences from both her British and Portuguese heritage. She co-wrote her debut album with producer Jake Wherry from UK hip-hop/jazz collective The Herbaliser.
She’s had radio support from BBC Radio 6 Music (Craig Charles & Huey Morgan), plus BBC Introducing Manchester (her home city). In Portugal, her videos have been featured on MTV Portugal, and she’s also had Spotify playlists on Equal Portugal and New Music Friday Portugal. In summer 2026, she delivered a new single “I Don’t Need”, a fierce soul-pop anthem blending powerful vocals, funk infused grooves, and polished contemporary soul/pop production. More singles are scheduled for this autumn.
This will be Maya’s first solo show in Leeds, although she has performed live in the city on several occasions the last couple of years as lead vocalist of the north’s top Brazilian music band Gustavo Andrade & The Brasukas (based in Leeds). For this Hyde Park Book Club Snug show, she’s performing her own compositions with a stripped back line up of herself on vocals accompanied by keys and sax. Perfect for a small intimate show such as this one. Come and check out a new rising star of the UK soul/pop scene.
Seated/standing mixed show (just 45 capacity). Support to be confirmed
