Maïa
Davies has been singing and creating her own music for some years,
a rare blend of alternative pop, folk, and a taste for the unusual. Her
passion for music, along with her distinctive voice were evident early
on, resulting in Davies studying classical opera and jazz piano in college
,but she was ultimately turned off by the absence of creative freedom.
It was at around this same time that Maïa became reacquainted with
the piano. Maïa also discovered Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, Fleetwood
Mac, Joni Mitchell. Nirvana, and Paul Simon. She soon discovered that
she had a knack for songwriting as well.While Maïa is a writer of
songs, she is no singer-songwriter; the cliché solo-acoustic guitar,
reedy voice of a thousand Joni Mitchell wannabes. She is not ashamed to
be called a pop songwriter, and remains open to new influences, be it
Ryan Adams, the Dandy Warhols, Lucinda Williams or Aimee Mann. Today,Davies'
sound has bloomed into a bright, soulful take on modern folk and alternative
pop music.
In addition to music, Maïa's interests include poetry, vinyl records,
vintage guitars, flowers, her friends, reading, her 60-gig iPod, Woody
Allen films, painting, and boys, but not boyfriends.
Davies has played many shows in Canada and the US and is currently touring.
She has also recorded a new album with grammy award winning producer Tony
Black(Alicia Keys) advance ep's available now
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
