MAXINE

Looking for a pop hit with an irresistible melody, a catchy hook and a quirky sound, wrapped in a global-sounding production? Then look no further. Few tick all those boxes the way composer, lyricist, musician and singer MAXINE (1998, The Hague) does. No wonder numerous artists have her on speed dial. After she finished high school she found out about Musikmakarna in the city of Örnsköldsvik, Sweden’s top music school for songwriters. Here, where distances are measured in Swedish miles, and the sun doesn’t set throughout the summer, students learn how to create hits. We’re talking The Chainsmokers, Ellie Goulding, and the Swedish pop star Zara Larsson; one of MAXINE’s main sources of inspiration.
But something is about to change. It took a few steps for MAXINE to move from behind the scenes and into the spotlight but from now on the songs Maxine the composer writes will be for MAXINE the artist. She has arrived. Captivating, bursting with confidence, and armed with wonderful pop hits.
