Je cherche du travail en tant que chanteuse en studio, chantant les choeurs ou la voix lead, aussi pour les publicités. N'hesitez pas de demander mon CV et demo.
How I made my profile:
I used MyWackoSpace.com 's amazing MySpace Editor .A little about me: I'm a christian jazz/funk/soul-singer originally from Finland, born in 1981. I've been writing songs since I was 13 years old, I also write lyrics and play piano. I have been living in France for the last 6 years. The 2 last years I did some jazz music studying in the American School of Modern Music in Paris and met some great musicians. The music you hear on this site is a fruit of that time. My own material is mostly funk stuff, but I love singing jazz too... To me what's most important is the message I deliver with my music. A message of love, freedom, hope and new life. My greatest inspiration is my Father in heaven, who by Jesus has given me just that. At the moment I'm leading worship in an international church (Cornerstone Christian Fellowship) in the South of France and just recently started a christian jazzy groove/pop band with Daniel Colombo which will play mostly the band's own compositions. To be continued... :) Thanks for coming by, hope to see you soon! Love, Maija
