‘Mared’s music masterfully blends folk and soul-pop – and her growing fan base across the world has seen her blossom into one of Wales’ leading young musical talents.’ NATION.CYMRU
Mared is a Welsh artist and singer-songwriter making a bold transition into the indie-folk world for her upcoming EP ‘Everything I Left Behind’, with a sound that blends poetic lyricism, warm acoustic textures, and bilingual storytelling — inspired by artists like Alisa Amador, Andy Shauf, This Is The Kit and Laura Marling.
Winner of Welsh Album of the Year 2021, Mared has performed at leading festivals including Sŵn Festival (Cardiff), Celtic Connections, FOCUS Wales, and Green Man. She was recently awarded the PRS Foundation’s International Showcase Fund to perform at BreakOut West in Canada later this year, further establishing her presence on the international stage.
Mared’s music regularly appears on BBC Radio Wales’ Welsh A-list, alongside features on 6music, BBC Radio 1, Selector Radio, BBC Radio Cymru track of the week and Amazing Radio. Earlier in 2025, she released a Live EP featuring a 7-piece band, funded by BBC Horizons Launchpad, capturing the energy and depth of her evolving sound.
Now entering a new creative chapter, Mared is set to release a new indie-folk EP in Spring 2026, with the first single ‘Consequential’ released October 10th 2025.
