Maia and the Squires is an alternative rock band based in Berlin, fronted by Argentinian singer-songwriter Maia Luker.
The band formed when Maia met Phan Anh BUI, Ulysse Zimmer, and Merlin Laudien in Berlin.
Phan Anh, originally from Vietnam, brings piercing guitar riffs with his distinctive playing, Ulysse, from Metz, brings his energy to the bass, Merlin, from Hamburg, adds driving and dynamic rhythms, and Maia’s ethereal yet powerful vocals glues it all together.
Their shared passion for authentic music quickly created Maia and the Squires’ signature sound.
The band first gained attention in Berlin’s scene after performing at Lido and Privatclub. Their breakthrough came when they played Indie In Town’s first Berlin show, which led to invitations to more events and expanded their audience. Since then, they have performed at many venues and festivals, and even played in Buenos Aires.
Beyond their live shows, Maia and the Squires are actively working on new music. after their debut single “Pretty Now”, they released their latest single “Chameleon” with a new sound.
With a growing presence in the alternative music scene, Maia and the Squires continue to play live every month, bringing a refreshing sound to berlin.
