Background

Aged 19 in 2006, Maya signed with the Belgrade-based record label Grand Production, co-owned by Lepa Brena and Saša Popović, and released her first studio album Život uživo (2007). Berović signed with IN Music s.r.o. in 2008 after parting ways with Grand Production. In 2015 she explained that she and Grand director Saša Popović had differing ideas and that she is happy with her current label City Records.^[4]

In 2008 she teamed up with songwriter Branislav Samardžić and composer Dragan Kovačević D.K. Struja. The result was her second studio album Crno zlato.
