Tori Zietsch known professionally as Maple Glider, is an Australian pop singer-songwriter from Melbourne, Australia. Maple Glider released her debut album in June 2021.
Early life
In 2020, Zietsch said "I was raised from birth in quite a restrictive religious household" in Lismore, New South Wales. She moved to Melbourne to be "ensconced in the music community".[1][2] She moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico in 2024.[citation needed]
Career
2017: Seavera
Zietsch partnered up with childhood friend, producer Daniel Pinkerton and formed Seavera, pairing acoustic guitars with dramatic electronics.[1] In late 2017 Seavera won the very first Pie School initiative and worked with the team from Pieater to record a song that never released. Seavera parted ways soon after. Zietsch relocated to Brighton, England and began work on solo material.[1][2]
2018–2022: To Enjoy Is the Only Thing
Zietsch returned to Melbourne in late 2019 with numerous demos written while she was living in Brighton.[3] She enlisted Tom Iansek to record, mix and produce the first batch of songs and was signed to Pieater.[4]
In April 2021, Maple Glider announced the release of her debut studio album, alongside the third single "Swimming". In a press release, the artist said the album takes inspiration from vignettes of her life and the perspectives that travel has given her.[5]
2023: I Get Into Trouble
In May 2023, Maple Glider released "Don't Kiss Me".[6]
In July 2023, Maple Glider released "Dinah" and announced the release of I Get Into Trouble, her second studio album scheduled for release on 13 October 2023.[7]
