How do singing, work and mountains combine into the Maaya Project?

SINGING. "Dear, do something else apart from coming here to sing," said my singing teacher back in 2015. I took classes with him since 2010, I’d belonged to one band ore other, but certainly the singing lessons were the only leisure activity I could keep firm in time. I had (and still have) a persistent problem of stage fright. The teacher insisted with a truth: I would not be able to fight it if I only attended our lessons.

WORK. I can’t stop planning. I'm always doing something. I am just like that, anxious, hyperactive. I work a lot, I scarcely have any time. I like challenges. That’s my personality. But you must decompress somewhere to be able to continue and singing always kept me grounded.

MOUNTAINS. January 2016. It's 6 AM on the routes of Mendoza, Argentina, and Maaya Sakamoto is playing in my mp3. I’m awake and it is dawning. I look to my right and through the bus window I see the mountains that look like a collage. I don’t know what happened, but it was like an epiphany. Suddenly I was overcome by a huge desire to sing Maaya.

I have nothing but a nice microphone. When I returned to Buenos Aires I asked my dear friend Hernán, a professional musician with a prodigious ear, if he could help me record. He is such a saint that he said yes. Since March 2016 he’s the core of this project (without him, it wouldn’t exist) and he’s also the one who calls me down when things are not right (otherwise, how is it possible to make a progress?).

I started recording voices and harmonies myself but little by little I got excited to try some duets. I had fun. Each recording session is a new learning experience. On the way I met Sabri and her sweet voice. I asked her to share a song ("Aimo"). We got along well and she's a fan of Maaya. The rest just came naturally: live performances were more beautiful with her harmonies so I asked her to board this ship :)

I just want to be clear on something. Maaya Sakamoto is unique. She is my favorite Japanese singer and a challenge at a musical level, but I do not sing like she does. I do not have her register and I do not want to imitate her. I just want to pay homage to her with my own voice because her songs make me feel good, they de-stress me, they amuse me, they challenge me, they remind me of beautiful things and I want to share them.

My name is Paula, nice to meet you and thank you for listening :)
