Nata in Ucraina e figlia di musicisti classici, Maria Basel pone la musica come suo punto di riferimento fin dall'infanzia. Oggi vive a Wuppertal, in Germania, dove compone, esegue e produce tracce che vanno dall'elettronica al jazz, contraddistinte da un approccio elegante e raffinato. La sua voce, talvolta fragile, talvolta più drammaticamente algida, appare ipnotizzante e a tratti fascinosamente aliena. Il suo debutto "Layers" è stato prodotto da Listen Records Berlin e noi non vediamo l'ora di portarla in tutta Italia per farvela conoscere.

Born in Ukraine into a family of classical musicians - mother pianist and father cellist - Maria Basel grew up in a household with music at its centre. Today she works as a musician, composer, producer and DJ in different constellations and genres, rooted in the region around Wuppertal, Germany. As a self-taught producer, she is always trying to evolve and dive into new territories. Her solo project brings together Basel’s skills in classical music, her soft spot for electronic sounds, jazz and RnB. Her compositions are characterized by a blend of fragile vocals and loops. With hypnotising synth and piano progressions, loops and melancholic harmonies she creates captivating sound layers that draw on a variety of genres while at the same time open up a broad space for interpretation and association in both music and lyrics. Maria Basel’s debut EP “Layers” was releases March 12th 2021 via Listen Records Berlin.
