Born in Mallorca of Macedonian and Andalucian descent, resident of Barcelona and New York, Maika Makovski’s career to date has been as diverse as her heritage. Singer, songwriter, musician, actress and visual artist, Maika won her first professional recognition at the age of 15 and her first awards in 2002 before even releasing an album. Her first two albums "Kradiaw" (2005, PAE) and "Kraj so Koferot" (2007, Wildpunk Records) were critically acclaimed and Maika toured extensively throughout Europe, with El Mundo proclaiming her "the best female artist to come out of the underground rock scene in years." In 2009 John Parish (producer of PJ Harvey, Eels, Tracy Chapman...) invited Maika to his Bristol studio to record her 3rd album “Maika Makovski” (2010, Origami Records) which features collaborations with Jim Barr (Portishead) and Billy Fuller (Robert Plant). With her band (David Martínez on drums, JC Luque on bass guitar and percussion, Oskar Benas on guitar and backing vocals) Maika toured the album to ecstatic audiences in London, New York, Chicago, Austin Texas, and throughout Spain during 2010/11. El Pais described her as “a muse of the underground and one of the most authoritative voices of Spanish rock” and the band were nominated for 5 Premios Ufi (Independent Music Awards), winning best artist in June 2011.
