Vision to Reality: Maya Wasserman debuts with 'PARASITE'

Maya Wasserman is a 20 year old artist based in London, UK who aims to immerse her listeners into the world of her music. The concept for her songs are not only auditory, but multisensory. This is particularly apparent in her debut single ‘Parasite’. She has used a cockroach poster backgrounded by a bold red colour, as the main form of advertisement. Maya’s vision of the roach has become a synonymous symbol to her single where she sings about a lurking ex that replicates the feeling of formication. ‘I don’t want a parasite on my back, human decency is what you lack’ is a lyric made to scream about your leach-like ex that keeps returning, no matter how hard you tell them it’s over. 

Maya is breaking into the industry with unapologetic choices that match the song’s blunt and self-assured lyrics. This is further seen in the music video where Maya is running around the city, putting up the critter poster as a warning sign. This mysterious promotion symbol intrigues the public eye, whilst simultaneously merging the bold visual to the distinctive audio. 

Maya is not just an artist, but a creative visionary who is able to translate her concepts into eye-catching and memorable visuals, such as a cockroach that shares similar features as her ex, your ex and even my ex.
