Maud the moth is the alter ego of Amaya López-Carromero; a Spanish-born and Scotland-based pianist, singer and songwriter.

She has performed at multiple prestigious festivals internationally, such as Roadburn, ArcTanGent, Primavera Sound, AMFest, Rock in Bourlon, etc. and has appeared performing live at BBC Scotland and Spanish National Television (RTVE) concert series “Los Conciertos de Radio3”. Her music has been featured amongst other outlets, on KEXP (US), “Mastered at Abbey Road series” highlights, BBC6 (UK), RNE (ES) and Bandcamp Radio where she was interviewed. Her work has been critically acclaimed by BBC6, Prog, Louder, Angry Metal Guy, Metal Hammer Magazine, Postpunk.com, Eclipsed, Roadburn Festival, Echoes and Dust, The Skinny, Artribune and Mondosonoro amongst others.

Maud the moth has also been invited to perform as special guest supporting Chelsea Wolfe, Kayo Dot , Anna von Hausswolff, Hexvessel, Dvne, Ak’chamel, Faetooth, Kalandra and many other artists.
