Songwriting maven mxmtoon has teamed up with Kala to create her very own signature ukulele. The instrument, featuring a hand-drawn design by mxmtoon, is available for pre-order now, directly through mxmtoon, Kala Brand Music, and music stores nationwide.
The mxmtoon Signature Concert Ukulele delivers a one-of-a kind design atop the foundation of Kala’s most trusted flagship instrument design. This instrument features a satin spruce top adorned with an original etched design, supported by a traditional satin mahogany back, sides, and neck. Hand drawn by mxmtoon, the ukulele’s astro-infused artwork is as modern, textured, and captivating as it is personal to the artist herself.
Born and raised in Oakland, mxmtoon is a self-made singer-songwriter catapulted to the forefront of the indie pop sphere from the grassroots success of her 2018 self-released EP, plum blossom, recorded entirely from her bedroom. Rooted in intimate lo-fi production, mxmtoon’s style has quickly captivated a broad audience, her music awash with sweetly candid vocals, ukulele chords, and a glimmering introspection and wit. Followed up by full-length LP releases the masquerade and dawn & dusk, mxmtoon now has an audience of over 6 million monthly Spotify listeners, a burgeoning online following, and her own podcast: 365 days with mxmtoon.
