Artist: Maya Solovey & Robby Baier

Maya Solovey and her songwriting partner Robby Baier are First Place winners in the Pop category of the 7th Annual Great American Song Contest.

Judges selected their song "Linger" for the top honors. The judges praised the song as "impressively crafted, lyrically poetic and emotionally powerful."

Solovey began playing music at age five. She played by ear, even to the point of fooling her piano teachers, convincing them that she was reading the music they gave her.

After trying her hand at the life of the lone folk singer-songwriter in her late teens, Maya switched instruments, from the guitar back to the piano, and began honing her style towards pop. Her influences include Coldplay, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple and Paula Cole.

Maya lives in New York and plans to soon release a four-song EP titled ‘Dissolving’.
