Montreal-based alt-pop artist and TikTok star Maryze sits down with Xtra to chat about her new album, dream collaborations, her viral TikTok videos and more. Maryze’s debut album 8 came out last year and features collaborations with Canadian producers and artists, including 2020 Polaris Music Prize-winner Backxwash. The non-binary singer-songwriter also weaves together themes of identity and sexuality throughout the album. “I feel a lot more in tune with my own gender identity and sexuality now more than ever before with any other music that I’ve released,” Maryze says.
