UMVA has learned that Mae Muller, the UK's former Eurovision act, is on the verge of quitting music, revealing she's reached a critical point where she's questioning the sustainability of her career.
The singer, who represented the UK in the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest, came second last in the Grand Final with a meager 24 points, sparking concerns about her future in the industry. Despite this, her single I Wrote a Song hit the UK top 10, and her debut studio album Sorry I’m Late reached the UK top 40.
In a candid and vulnerable video posted on TikTok, Mae Muller confessed to feeling 'miserable' and at 'the end of my tether,' questioning whether she has what it takes to continue in the music industry. She shared her emotional state with her close friends, pleading for their support and urging them to remind her why she started making music in the first place.
Mae Muller's emotional plea was met with an outpouring of support from her fans, who begged her to keep going and not give up on her music career. Her devoted fan base encouraged her to take breaks when needed, assuring her that she's a talented icon and the world deserves to hear her music.
The 28-year-old singer has had a remarkable journey in the music industry, from appearing in Mika's music video for Grace Kelly as a child to releasing her debut EP in 2018. She's also supported Little Mix and has been open about her experiences, including her struggles with the pressures of Eurovision and her criticisms of the contest's handling of mental health.
Mae Muller's grandfather fled Nazi Germany as a 12-year-old, and she's spoken about the significance of her Jewish heritage. Her music career has been marked by both triumphs and tribulations, and it's clear that she's struggling to find her footing in an industry that can be both exhilarating and draining.
As Mae Muller navigates this critical juncture in her career, one thing is certain – her devoted fans will be watching with bated breath, hoping she'll find a way to reignite her passion for music and continue sharing her talents with the world.
