Slow Shudder

On Repeat: The Music Podcast

It's another release day and this week we grabbed our virtual passports and visited our friend across the pond in the US of A!

This week we're caught up with Slow Shudder, AKA, Amanda Mayo, a Cuban American recording artist, music producer, songwriter & DJ. Not only content as an artist, Amanda also has 10 years in the music business as a music curator, A&R, creative strategist, and has worked in academia as a lecturer. Her topics of research include "artificial intelligence within the context of musical collaboration and improvisation and the impact of virtual music scenes on identity" - so not only a one woman musical show, but also a super smart and well informed cookie! In 2020, Slow Shudder has kept busy during lockdowns by regularly playing virtual gigs hosted on Twitch and online radio stations, alongside her 5 year running radio show, Solar System (currently on datafruits.fm).

Musically her sound is versatile and encompasses many musical influences from the likes of indie electronic, dance, experimental, and alternative music, culminating in a way that’s best described as forward-thinking pop. Slow Shudder has been steadily releasing music since her debut single in 2016, ‘Call You Back' both independently and through labels such as bitbird, Palettes, Next Wave / Ultra Music, Moving Castle, and Not Like That. Alongside this she's also been featured by outlets such as Earmilk, Acid Stag, Indie Shuffle, Asymmetric Magazine, She Makes Music, Chromatic Club, BIRP.fm, and Crack in the Road. Outside of being an artist in her own right, Amanda has also just begun formally supporting and working with artists, offering creative and tangible exercise to help them in the music business as a coach.

In this episode we get a real overview of Amanda's career so far and the lessons she's learnt along the way. Join us where we discuss the trials and tribulations in a 10+ year DJ life, how she lived in a storage unit and taught herself Garage Band, to working at the then start up Audio Network, in a music licensing company, and her new found role as a coach.

Stay locked in for a career that spans 10 years, 2 continents, many cities and even more dance floors!
