What happens when surf rock vibes, New York grit, and DIY passion collide? You get Mayzie Belle—a rising indie band with a nostalgic twist and a fresh sound. And behind the bass is Brandon Malave, a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and creative force helping shape the band’s artistic identity.

In this episode of The Savoir Faire Audio Experience, we sit down with Brandon Malave to talk about the story behind Mayzie Belle’s debut single “Beach Bum,” his roots in punk and hardcore, and how the hustle of life in New York inspires everything from lyrics to late-night melodies. Brandon opens up about the transition from drummer to bassist, writing from a female perspective for the band’s frontwoman (and his girlfriend), and the strategy behind building Mayzie Belle in 2025’s fast-paced indie scene.
