Maggery is a twenty-year-old bedroom pop artist from Rosemead, CA who sings as well as plays the ukulele. She began playing around with producing her own music at fifteen-yearsold and started posting her music online at eighteen. Q. So you are a bedroom pop artist. How would you describe the genre to somebody who is unfamiliar with it? A. I would say it’s a very homey kind of music, just something you’d hear from your neighbor. You know, typical movies when they play songs in garages or something. That’s kind of how I see it. Q. How did that all begin? A. I used to just write really dumb songs and then post seven, six second videos on Vine. And then one of my friends I made on Vine got really popular and she actually inspired me to start posting.
I think sometimes songs are better when I do them in the moment. Screenshot from Maggery’s newly released music video for the song “Orange Peel.”
