Mecha Maiko is a synth pop project by Hayley Stewart.

She began her musical career as the lead producer and a vocalist for the synthwave act Dead Astronauts in 2011. In 2016, she left the band to pursue a solo project as Mecha Maiko. Dubbed “one of synthwave’s most recognizable voices” by NewRetroWave, Hayley has collaborated on tracks with the likes of Perturbator, FM Attack and Makeup and Vanity Set.

In 2022 she released NOT OK, which received a nomination for Electronic Album Of The Year at the 2023 Juno Awards. She is a current member of the electronic group Hyperlink Dream Sync.
