About Maze Cricket

I've been studying and playing music since the age of 7, and for 17 years I have been a concert pianist. When I first began my journey in music as a child, I was singing, and creating loops in my Roland Synthesizer which was my first ever instrument. Later on, I went down a different path, I studied classical piano in several conservatories and music schools, and in 2014 I started studying piano performance and baroque music in college. The field of classical music was really competitive for me, and I wanted to do more, and be more creative. Up until that point I hadn't created anything of my own, so in December 2021, I took a break from college and started learning about production. That was when I first started writing my own music and I took up singing again. Even though I write electronic space pop music, I practice every day in blues repertoire, jazz, and even some old country tunes. I am a huge admirer of music, a collector of records and rare music sheets from my favorite classical composers, so all of these influences were something I implemented in my own music. I love to arrange my own music and layer it in a classical style. I produce my own vocals for the time being and that really helped me discover my sound and vocal style more. I also love to perform and record my synth sounds-being a pianist-, and I love to experiment with odd sounds and mix different styles together. The genre I created is called Space Pop, it is influenced by the visual style of the Space Age in the '60s, and the music itself is a mix of electronic, pop, classical, and it has the vintage aftertaste of my favorite eras of music, the '50s-'60s-'70s. For me songwriting, singing, and production skills are all essential in what I'm doing, I wouldn't be able to create this sound if I took out one of them! Recently I started releasing my work independently to the world, and I continue learning and evolving in what I do!

Maze's Experience

I’ve been a piano player for 17 years, I’ve played festivals as a pianist, won several national, and international awards and I have briefly worked as an accompanying pianist for dancers and opera singers. As a singer, I have worked in local clubs, I accompany myself by playing either the piano or the ukulele, and the repertoire I have sung live is mostly blues, jazz, and rhythm and blues from the 60s and 70s. As a producer, I have worked on my own music and projects, I have been hired to do remixes for other artists, as well as design sounds and soundtracks for video games. I also have supervised recording sessions where I give production and musical feedback. I also write and direct my music video projects, most of which will be released this year.
