The two intertwined influences in Mayah Camara’s life are music and her Christian faith. London based, she has been recording since the young age of 12 and cannot imagine a time when she hasn’t been making music. As a result, behind her work is a sense of ease and enjoyment; she is equally at home behind the microphone in a recording studio as she is performing live.
There is a strong retro influence in Mayah’s music, and she takes genres such neo-soul, and 80s and 90s pop and RnB, which she combines with lyrics emphasising her Christian faith and the experiences of a Christian in the 21st century. These include both her love for God as well as the inevitable encounters with temptation and challenges which come from a society which no longer focuses as strongly on spirituality as it once did. In this way, her music is both retro and intensely relevant; although gospel and soul have long and storied histories, Mayah is sensitive to their place in the context of the modern world, making her music immediately relatable. Laidback, melodic guitars incorporate the sounds of the 90s, and strong bass-lines, detailed production, and a love of harmony combine these separate traditions into Mayah’s own sound.
Growing up in London has also been a strong influence in Mayah’s life and her development as a performing artist. She has played at legendary venues such as the Roundhouse, Wembley Arena, and the Royal Albert Hall, bringing love and passion to her live show. The rich tapestry of music which runs throughout the capital never fails to encourage her in her musical journey, and through this she has built a strong following for her unique brand of retro-inspired gospel-pop, ideal for 21st century Christians finding their way, or anyone with a love for silky smooth vocals, 90s influences and soulful undertones.

Girlfriend Records was created by producer Eric Sferro and is owned by producer John Sagouspe (Johnatron) as an attempt to pay homage to the faded images and analog sounds of his childhood that continue to inspire his creations today. Deeply rooted in the mystique of the 1980's, Girlfriend Records catalog sees electro, funk, disco, and house knocking knees with college rock, shoegaze, post-punk, new wave, and hip-hop to create musical hybrids that are comfortingly nostalgic, yet unmistakably modern. Johnatron and Sferro cull releases from an array of respected producers, each of whom brings a different perspective and approach to create a unified body of work that constantly morphs and evolves. These tracks provoke the urge to dance at times, but also allow the mind to wander to unseen coastlines, tropical sunsets, neon cities, lost highways, and impenetrable forests.

Brave Wave is a label dedicated to exploring the interplay between videogames, music and nostalgia. Home to Manami Matsumae (Mega Man), Keiji Yamagishi (Ninja Gaiden), Yoko Shimomura (Kingdom Hearts), Saori Kobayashi (Panzer Dragoon), Takahiro Izutani (Bayonetta), Masashi Kageyama (Gimmick!) and more.
