JOURNEY BETWEEN WORLDS
Berlin-based singer, music producer and composer Maria GoJa’s music delves deep into the dynamic dance of creative and chaotic forces that shape our lives, navigating between the realms of the familiar and the unknown. From the transcendent experience to the raw reality of existence her songs explore themes of transformation, new beginnings and breaking free from limitations. Combining piano melodies, cinematic orchestration, drum grooves and atmospheric textures, her sound palette crafts a unique blend of Dark Cinematic Art Pop. Drawing from Alternative and Soul influences with hints of Jazz and Classical, her sonic universe takes listeners on a journey from pulsating, rooted depths to spherical, frosty soundscapes and is coming to life in her original compositions, covers, and scores for theater and film.
On her musical journey Maria GoJa moves between worlds. Her genre-bending style is a blend of diverse influences and experiences, shaped by various musical worlds she navigates.
