Based in Los Angeles, Mavien Bliss is an expression in pop music: a yummy mixture of hip-hop beats, rock & R&B flavored chord progressions, girl group vocals, and layers of synth sounds. Featuring the elegant songwriting and fiery angelic vocals of EMI International songwriter Vie Le and the beautiful and poignant string arrangements and sassy keyboard stylings of Maureen Baker, Mavien Bliss is poised to seduce its listeners with its engaging sound.
Vie and Maureen started training in classical piano and performing before they hit grade school. While Maureen went on to pursue her major in classical piano and music composition at UCLA, Vie sharpened her skills as a singer/songwriter throwing down vocals with fledgling hip-hop artists and rock bands in the local music scene. Vie and Maureen are professional touring musicians and have performed with a wide variety of major label acts, such as pop princess Christina Aguilera, American Idol Clay Aiken, R&B heart-stopper Eric Benet, and Latina superstar Paulina Rubio, and have appeared on a number of nationally-syndicated television shows such as Soul Train, the Tonight Show, Good Morning America, and Saturday Night Live.
Friends and colleagues in the male-dominated music scene for years, the girls have now combined their creative efforts and unique approach to music. Co-producing their songs with other talented up-and-coming musicians and producers, they came up with a sound that is distinctive and embeds itself into your consciousness with its undeniable head-boppin beats, catchy choruses, and passionate performances. Whether it's hip-hop, retro house, drum and bass, or electro-bossa nova, the intentions of Mavien Bliss are clear: to continue writing tasty tunes and keep their listeners groovin' and singin', thinkin' and feelin'....Generate your own contact table!
