maïa

In the organizer's words:

maïa was born into melancholy. She began writing texts at the age of twelve: short poems and snapshots. Back then, she wrote in English, until Ferdinand von Schirach's literature showed her how much power the German language can have: "It's an incredibly banal way of writing. And that makes the things he writes 20 times more emotional. This directness just tears you apart," she says.

So she continues to write in German and begins to find her own voice more and more with every line. She documents this development on Instagram. At some point, she learns to play the piano and guitar - and so lyrics become lyrics, lines become melodies and pages become songs.
It wasn't until 2021 that maïa decided to share her music with the world and posted short recordings on TikTok, allowing listeners to look through her blue glasses. Because blue is the color that best describes her emotional world. And it quickly becomes clear: people feel maïa's way of seeing.

So she appears as a feature with LUVRE41, plays tour support for Jeremias in front of 5,000 people and builds up her own fan base. After her first singles and the first EP "tatendrang und todmüde" in 2023, maïa will show the world why she is one of the best observers in the pop game with the release of two tapes in 2024. On reduced productions, her voice sounds as crystal clear as her lyrics. She never crosses the line into kitsch and remains poetically accurate. While many artists use music as an escape to deal with the darker sides of life, maïa sees it as a privilege to be able to feel so intensely. No escape reflex, just feeling.
She is at home in melancholy - she always has been.
