About Maria Neckam

Maria's voice is one of those you either love or hate, and so is her music. Uncompromising in her musical approach as well as performance she hits truth right at it's core and strikes a chord in you... Her clear, airy sound has been compared to that of angels as well as wind instruments, the latter referring to her use of it as well - Maria sings like an instrumentalist plays. This is also reflected in her use of lyrics, as she states her point in an abstract way, making space for everyone's own story in hers. Her compositions are as diverse as life's surprises, merging modern Jazz with Drum N'Bass and Rock grooves as well as Indian and Classical music. You can hear Stravinsky as well as Bjork in it, Billie Holiday and Debussy, Nikhil Banerjee and Ani DiFranco... but most of all, Maria Neckam.

Born and raised in VIENNA, Austria, moved to AMSTERDAM in 2000 and lived there 'till she moved on to NEW YORK CITY in august 2005 were she has found her place for now and is happier than ever. Maria plays mainly with Lars Dietrich, Samir Zarif, Thomas Morgan, Colin Stranahan and Aaron Goldberg, and often with Zack Lober, Greg Ritchie, Franz von Chossy, Paul Wiltgen, Yotam Silberstein, Dan Weiss, Miles Okazaki, Dave Binney, Will Vinson, Mike Moreno, Lage Lund, John Escreet, Fabian Almazan, Sam Barsh, Mika Pohjola, Donald Vega, Lee Pardini, Kristjan Randalu, Matt Wigton, Stephen Norfleet's “Noise", The Mahavishnu Project ...
