John Maus is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and composer known for his innovative blend of lo-fi synth-pop, experimental sounds, and deep philosophical themes. With a background in philosophy and music, Maus creates music that is both introspective and provocative, characterized by his deep baritone voice, analog synths, and minimalist production. His work often explores themes of existentialism, loneliness, and the search for meaning, set against the backdrop of 1980s-inspired synth soundscapes.
His live performances are as much a spectacle as they are a concert, featuring raw, emotive displays of energy that blur the lines between performer and audience.
