Who is Maarit Vaga

Mother says I was a singer long before I could talk.

Christmas 1971, Helsinki Finland

Thanks to a Dad who loved to blast excellent classical music and vigorously conduct imaginary orchestras, I grew thinking that everyone felt music as passionately as he does.

My mother used to put on beautiful classical music and draw lovely fairytale scenes inspired by the melodies.

To my surprise, not everyone feels so moved by music so it is my hope to help people make that connection. My voice is on loan from God and as long as I have it, I will try to be a faithful steward by making the most of it.

"And I've often wondered how did it all start
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart like a melody can.
Well, who ever it was, I'm a fan.
So I say, thank you for the Music, the songs we're singing.
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing. Who can live without it?
I ask in all honesty, what would life be? Without a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say, Thank you for the Music. For giving it to me!"
Benny Anderson & Björn Ulvaeus
