MAJA SAVIĆ

jazz vocalist

Maja Savić was born on 5th September 1979 in Zadar, Croatia. She convinces her parents that she wants to learn how to play the piano and ends up in music school Pavao Markovac in Zagreb, where she studies piano until 1992. She starts composing and arranging and occasionally singing in public.She has worked with many musicians varying from one style to another, finally finding herself in more jazzy tunes.

She started with a more pop/rock band called Flyer in 1998, performing as a lead female vocalist along with a male vocalist and a rhythm section, doing all sorts of covers. After that band she finds herself in one original band named Bazaar dealing with a harder style, mixing hard core and jazzy sounds, where she wrote her own lyrics and vocals. They release a demo "Broken pieces"" and get pretty good reviews.

After a significant break from music she starts again with the band Flyer, this time as a backvocalist (of the two) singing now more mellow tunes from covers to originals, from funky and disco to soul...This leads to a record deal with Croatia Records and the first album of the group called "Epopeja". Performing from small stages to big stage events, she gains more experience in performing.

In 2005 she leaves the band and moves to Portugal, where she starts working on her debut album with a prominent jazz musician Ze Eduardo. Apart from recording, she starts working intensively in jazz, educating herself as a vocalist and a musician and performing with various bands. She works in smaller groups performing jazz standards, bossa nova tunes, Latin and blues, as well as early jazz, New Orleans repertoire with one big band and two more vocalists. She studies jazz, bossa nova, Latin and Indian music styles through various jazz workshops in Portugal, Spain, BiH and learns from high quality musicians such as Zé Eduardo, Romy Camerun, Deborah Carter, Kiran Ahluwalia, Francisco „Latino“ Blanco, Pedro Moreira,...

At the moment she is working on the production of her new album which will include arrangements of some jazz standards and bossa nova, as well as her original tunes, and working intensely with her Trio.

Currently co-operating with various musicians from Croatia.. She writes all her lyrics, vocals, back vocals. Co-operates with many musicians from Portugal, Spain, the UK, the USA and Croatia.
