Maia Davies, Montreal native songstress, has an undeniable passion for music, as her knack for songwriting and performing prove. Where indie pop sheds prentention, songwriting is rooted in necessary traditions, and arrangements are simultaneously hooky and experimental, Davies' sound emerges, with a sultry voice to carry and deliver it with conviction. Part coffee-house folk, part alternative pop, and part seductive siren music for good measure, Davies' artistic mission is, by her own admission, a labor of love.
