Early Life and Education

Maja Berović was born on July 8, 1987, in Malešići, near Sarajevo, to Serbian parents.

Her father passed away when she was three, and she was raised by her mother and older brother.

The family lived in Malešići until the Bosnian War ended in 1995, when they relocated to Bratunac, her mother’s hometown.

In a 2016 interview, Berović reflected on her war-torn childhood, noting both painful memories of displacement and joyful moments of play despite the conflict.

She began singing in local discotheques at age 12, performing weekends until 18. Influenced by artists like Dragana Mirković, Lepa Brena, and Ceca, she developed a passion for pop-folk.

Details about her formal education are limited, as her focus shifted to music early on. She is an Eastern Orthodox Christian.

Career

Maya Berović began performing professionally as a teenager, singing in discotheques before signing with Grand Production at 19.

Her debut album, Život uživo (2007), written by Marina Tucaković and produced by Aleksandar Milić, featured the hit “Džin i limunada.”

She parted ways with Grand Production due to creative differences and released Crno zlato (2008) under IN Music, followed by her self-titled album Maya (2011) with BN Music, which included her signature hit “Djevojačko prezime,” earning Hit of the Year in Sarajevo.

Her fourth album, Djevojka sa juga (2012), and fifth, Opasne vode (2014), each sold 50,000 copies, with the single “Alkohol” featured in the 2022 Netflix film The Swimmers. Her 2013 Belgrade concert marked her growing Serbian fanbase.

In 2016, Berović’s career shifted with the release of “Pauza,” sung in the Ekavian dialect, sparking debate for appealing to the Serbian market, though she defended it as a songwriter’s choice.

Her collaboration with Jala Brat and Buba Corelli on “To me radi” (2016) and the album Viktorijina tajna (2017) marked a transition to a more urban sound, with tracks amassing over 100 million YouTube views.

Her 2018 album 7 and the hit “Pravo vreme” solidified her regional dominance, culminating in a record-breaking sold-out Belgrade Arena concert during her Pravo Vreme tour.

She released Intime (2020), which charted in Austria and Switzerland, and Milion (2023). Her 2020 YouBox online concert drew 260,000 viewers.

Berović also launched Maya Beauty Line, a makeup collection, in 2020. She represented Serbia in regional contests like Europa Song Contest with “Nisam Normalna” and “Neka Stvar.”

Recent 2024 singles and her announced album 10 have stirred excitement, though some X posts note a perceived lack of hits since 2018.
