Musician friends with such euphonious names as Alberto Perez, who handles the bass on her debut album "God Is My Bike", or Giuliano Gius Cobelli, involved on trumpet, drums and co-production, she meets in Barcelona, where Maïa spends a large part of her childhood and teenage days. Shuttling back and forth between the Spanish metropolis and New York, from September 2011 she first decided to go all the way to Europe.
Born in the US and raised by an American mother and a French father, she tried her hand at various instruments early on. So on "God Is My Bike", the singer also plays violin, accordion, guitar, xylophone, piano and recorder. The instrumentation shows: There is not much left of her love for Rancid.
Maia Vidal tours extensively through Europe, warming up stages for her colleague Zaz, among others. A Swedish furniture store chain uses one of her songs to soundtrack a commercial.
