About Me |
|
| I was born on the Swedish-speaking countryside of western Finland, graduated as a pop/jazz vocalist and music educator from the renowned Sibelius-Academy in Helsinki, came to Rotterdams Conservatory in The Netherlands to specialize in Brazilian music, and now live in The Netherlands where I work as a singer, vocal coach and freelance music educator. In 2007 I studied the groundbreaking vocal method Complete Vocal Technique (CVT) developed by Danish voice researcher Cathrine Sadolin in a 1-year diploma course for professional singers, and currently I am following the 3-year course to become an Authorized CVT Teacher at Complete Vocal Institute in Copenhagen. I have worked as a singer in bands, acappella groups, and music theatre productions. With my own band, Katja Maria & Band, I play Brazilian music and jazz. More information about my background and current projects can be found on my website www.katjamaria.com
I am also available for session work, background vocals and live performances. I can provide guide vocals for bands, songwriters and producers, add harmony, sing lead/backing vocals and co-write lyrics and songs. I work with a variety of styles including pop, jazz, latin, dance, electronica, French chansons, and musicals, and I sing in English, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Finnish, French, German and Dutch. My specialties are background vocals, creating harmonies, and overdubbing vocal parts. Some examples of this kind of work can be heard in the tracks "Ordinary day" and "Half a minute" here on my myspace. I have excellent sight reading and ear training skills, and am capable of picking up a song or harmony very quickly. I also enjoy doing vocal arrangement and have worked as a collaborator, co-lyricist and co-writer for studio recordings. I have a home recording studio, making online collaboration and remote recording a practical and efficient way to work. Don't hesitate to contact me and ask for more information or a demo! |
