Maria La Nova has released a new original track with her debut single ‘Break My Heart.’
Maria began her career humbly, singing as a karaoke hostess in Hungary and Japan, where she realized she had the potential to perform professionally. During this time, she started to train her voice and take singing lessons, which has developed her voice into today’s recording artist. Maria was also previously classically trained to learn piano, which later helped with her songwriting process and allowed her to accompany her performances with piano and keyboard. She also had few more public successes in Hungary, including Hungarian X-Factor (X-Faktor). She later formed a duet with Peter Szikszai, another X Factor participant, shortly after her exit.
Although experienced with songwriting, Maria notes that she only really became creative after moving to Amsterdam and starting a duo called Cherie van Gazelle. The pair were successful and featured on the renowned Sofar Sounds, a Youtube channel with over 1 million subscribers. During this time, she became involved with the Dutch music scene and local musician communities in Amsterdam – where her songwriting started to bloom.
Now in 2021, she is releasing her solo single ‘Break My Heart’, which was inspired by one of Maria’s personal love stories. ‘Break My Heart’ is all about the dating game and the rules of attraction. It follows the narrative between Maria and her crush as they navigate their relationship, with Maria not being afraid to be heartbroken and feeling unbreakable.
“I wanted to capture the moment when we get too involved in a connection, even though we know that will be painful. Although it looks like I know what I am doing, and I am strong, on the deeper level, I am actually becoming a victim of heartbreak.“ – Maria La Nova
