*please forgive the audio issues in this episode* Maxime Cathalina
is a Dutch R&B songstress and songwriter. She was born and
raised in the picturesque city of Maastricht to a Caribbean father
and Dutch mother. Music was her first love: she already sang before
she learned how to speak. Exposure to artists such as India.Arie,
Sade, Musiq Soulchild and Craig David led her to write her first
songs at ten years old. For over a decade, she’s been the female
half of alternative R&B duo Maxime x Glyn. Now, a new era has
started for her as a solo artist. Conveying narratives about life’s
most pertinent lessons, such as (self-)love, loss, desire,
vulnerability and spiritual empowerment, she writes heartfelt and
relatable stories. With warm, soothing vocals, Maxime Cathalina
sings soulful, mellifluous melodies rooted in her authentic self –
a journey that has only just begun.
