Maia Vahtramäe
Üle vesihalli taeva
Twenty-three year old Maia Vahtramäe is the former vocalist with Põhja-Tallinn, who participated at Eesti Laul 2013 with their huge domestic hit Meil on aega veel.
The song finished in sixth place behind winner Birgit Õigemeel, runner-up Grete Paia and Winny Puhh, who became an international sensation as a result of their explosive onstage performance.
Maia also joined forces with Estonia’s 2011 entrant Getter Jaani to come up with Meelelahutajad, a 2013 song penned by Sven Lõhmus.
Üle vesihalli taeva, which will compete in the first semi-final on 7th February 2015, is composed by Olav Osolin, who told his social media followers:
‘I got to know Maia through the TV show “Your Face Sounds Familiar” and I’ve been a fan of her voice ever since. This song speaks to those who are far away from us, sometimes to distant lands and seas, and we are looking forward to seeing them again, not knowing if they will return or not…’
