With her vulnerable lyrics and ukulele in hand, indie-pop songwriter Maia is known professionally as Mxmtoon (stylized all-lowercase).

The 24-year-old, Oakland-born musician wrote her first song at age 13 after learning the ukulele and starting her own YouTube channel. A new cover of Chet Baker’s “I Fall In Love Too Easily” updates the 81-year-old classic from “Anchors Aweigh” for the Tumblr-era.

She is joined by the Toronto-based singer-songwriter Luna Li, who’s known for her viral multi-instrumental jam sessions on social media.

Tickets to see Mxmtoon play The Ritz in Ybor City on Saturday, Feb. 22 are still available and start at $27.50.
