I’m Maia Hirasawa — a Swedish Japanese artist, songwriter, and producer. I started out as a musician and background singer for Hello Saferide, and released my self-produced debut album Though, I’m Just Me in 2007, featuring the singles And I Found This Boy and Gothenburg.

Since then, I’ve become part of both the Swedish and Japanese music scenes. What began as a short break in Japan in 2010 turned into an unexpected career there, with the hit singles Boom and It Doesn’t Stop in 2011. Boom became a fight song for the people affected by the earthquake and tsunami that same year.

In 2023, I released my eighth album, If This Is The End It Sure Is A Beautiful One, on my own label — a mix of songs in Swedish and English, created together with several producers, including myself.

I sing in Swedish, English, and Japanese — and I’ll keep doing so.
Alongside my own releases, I compose music for films and commercials, mostly in Japan.

Right now, I’m tucked away in the studio, working on my next album — coming in 2026.
Have a look around for new music, videos, or a signed LP straight from me.
