John Maus was born in Austin, Minnesota. He was influenced by the music he experienced on MTV, such as Nirvana. He began playing bass as a teenager, but he took no formal lessons, opting to figure out the instrument in a way that suited him. Maus' interest in music (albeit from a more unorthodox point of view) led to him pursuing a degree in music composition at the California Institute of Arts. It was there that he got to know Ariel Rosenberg, his eventual roommate and experimental pop musician. Maus realized the power of pop music and where it could go through Rosenberg's performances. Rosenberg became known to wider audiences as Ariel Pink. Maus contributed to Pink's sixth album, Lover Boy. He also joined the live band of Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti. After touring with Pink as part of Panda Bear's band and occasionally being an opener, Maus signed with London-based record label Upset the Rhythm. After releasing his first two albums, Songs and Love Is Real, Maus worked as a lecturer at the University of Hawaii. He also received a master's degree from Sweden's European Graduate School. 2011 was perhaps the biggest year yet for Maus as a performer as it saw the release of his third and most acclaimed album, We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves. However, the momentum didn't lead to more music right away. Instead, Maus received his PhD from the University of Hawaii and worked on making modular synths. He did eventually return to working on music. He released his fourth album, Screen Memories, in 2017 and his fifth, Addendum, the following year.Where can I buy John Maus tickets?
