CATYA..S STORY:
Catya Maré has been playing the violin all her life (first concert as a soloist with an orchestra at the early age of 10 years old, teachers a.o. Zakhar Bron), playing solo concerts as a classical violinist in the USA, Israel, Germany, Scandinavia, Italy, Spain.
She received her master..s degree at the Music Conservatory in Munich (Germany), held the position of an alternating concertmaster with one of the finest European symphony orchestras (Aarhus Symfoniorkester, Denmark).... and then found out that there were other possibilities, this wasn..t enough....

One day, in 2004, when recovering from a bad influenza and starting to play the violin again, she became aware of the fact, that she was playing something she never had heard or seen before. Music arising from the moment! A quite unusual thing for a classical musician.
Since then she performed at Museums of Modern Art (e.g. National Galerie Berlin (Germany), Kunsthaus Zürich, Switzerland)) international concert halls, shows and collaborated with dancers and painters.

In February 2006 Catya Maré started to compose songs, where her violin is the primary voice. Electronica / ambient / classical. A collaboration with Jakob Gadegaard Frandsen (engineer) and Henrik Koitzsch (guitar player).
Fantastic responses immediately! Her songs are broadcast at hundreds of international radio stations, receiving the most amazing reviews and are placed on TV shows and films....

In April 2007 Catya Maré won the Sonic Bids Award for Composition, what resulted in a non-exclusive publishing deal with the US music publisher Noteborn Music.
And in September her song "It Came True" was featured in Vic Alexander..s film "BUTTERFLIES IN THE WIND" at the Awa Gardner Film Festival in North Carolina.

In February 2008 she relocated from Denmark to L.A..

November 2008: Catya Maré was nominated for the prestigious Hollywood Music Award.

February 20th, 2009: Catya won the Billboard World Songwriting Contest in the category "electronica/soundtrack".

April 2009: Her music is featured on the Hollywood movie "Homecoming". The film will be shown at all the major film festivals in the USA.

November 19th: Catya Maré won the Hollywood Music in Media Award in the category "Ambient / New Age". The ceremony took place on 19th of November in the world famous Kodak Theater Complex, Hollywood, and was televised to 120.000.000 households internationally.

On February 8th, 2010 her third, much anticipated album "Destination Love" was released worldwide. A celebration of love...uplifting, inspirational, dreamy, relaxing, soulful, sensual instrumental songs, that feature the violin as a delightful and touching primary voice woven into a spectacular electronica / world / orchestral / pop backing. "Destination Love" already enjoys great popularity especially on iTunes, where its songs have been included into hundreds of top-rated imixes.

February 2010, Catya was rewarded 8 Editor..s Choice Awards on one of the leading music licensing sites today: Revostock.

Inspired by a humorous sexy and ironic video she did in July 2010, Catya started including her own voice into her productions, what resulted in a flirtingly humorous, sexy & slightly nutty new style (electronica / pop / world).

SOME REVIEWS: more at www.catyamare.com

5.0 out of 5 stars. Musical Ecstasy
"From the first minute of "Destination Love" you realize this album is going to be a magical experience. Catya Mare blends modern electronica with classic violin. The music alternates between being exciting and calming. While listening you will experience exquisite emotions. I found some of the music to be playfully creative. Then there are some songs that are seductively sensual with breathy whispers. As the music seeps into your soul you may notice the pleasant sensation of happiness emerging. This is like love radiating from your soul. I think this happens because Catya Mare is one with the violin and it becomes like an extension of her own heart. Each piece of music has elements that make it unique and intriguing. You will be fascinated by not only the creativity, but how the music affects you as a soul."
(~The Rebecca Review, Rebecca Johnson (www.SeasonedwithLove.com) and on Amazon.com (May 15, 2010)

"Listening to Catya is like a breath of fresh air. Entering her world is dangerously infectious and may cause you to experience spurts of ecstasy. Her vision is beyond the confines of our limited comprehension. In three words, she commands attention." (Excerpt from review by Cendrine Marrouat, http://bit.ly/crMDzg, (WAGTi Media Group)

"...No doubt that Catya Maré is one of the most talented violinists today. Her music reaches from Ambient, New Age to Chillout and Lounge." (excerpt from a review of "Destination Love", March 12th, 2010 by Erich Boeck, Music Scout, NewAgeRadio.de)

"Catya Mare is a violinist that hails from Denmark, and perhaps one of the most talented violinists I have heard in a long time.
The violin is her voice; it brings forth sensual, atmospheric melodies with music that refreshes the soul.
Her music has begun to gain popularity across Europe through her MySpace website, and now her second CD, Clouds, exhibits another ethereal journey into the beauty of progressive classical music.
For anyone who thinks violins are boring, this album will prove you wrong. The ambient pop feel supports the heavenly sound of her violin that can do nothing but refresh your spirit and mind.
It is what legendary music does best : every track on this CD touches the soul .. and it touches the sky. It was impossible to just listen to every selection once or twice.
Each song on Clouds expresses such emotion that the listener feels it. The music tells a beautiful story. It paints pictures in the listeners’ mind that cannot be described as anything less that gorgeous. Technically, the music is totally flawless.
Clouds may give off the impression that it is classical, but it is much more than that; it exposes the other side of the world.
Denmark is certainly lucky to have such an amazing violinist."
(by Anne Carrington, Indie Music Stop, November 24, 2007)

"...With full orchestral backup on many of her songs, even those that are stripped down to nothing more than Catya's violin also have all the textures of a forest at sunrise. And I also discovered that her music paints pictures in my mind that are absolutely gorgeous. Technically, I find any point of her music to be flawless... Comparing her to any of the finest violinists in the world isn't out of the question. I really look forward to Catya Maré's music being included on MIXXSTUDIOS playlist. Steve, you're right, she is fabulous. (Tim Weber, MIXXSTUDIOS, USA)"

"Light Longing is an ethereal journey into the beauty of progressive classical music. For anyone who thinks violins are boring, this album will prove you wrong. It leaves you mesmerized by the peace and serenity an excellent violinist can give. The melodic pop feel of the album only adds to its appeal for the modern music listener. Ambient beats support the heavenly sound of her violin that can do nothing but refresh your spirit and mind. Highly recommended after a long day of work when you need to relax and replenish yourself.
Catya Mare is truly a talented artist, a rare gem in the mainstream pop world today. A beautiful treat to the ears that will take you to places you’d never thought existed, and from which you’ll never want to come back."
