Maja Ivarsson, born 2 October 1979, is lead singer in the Swedish New Wave band "The Sounds" . Lead singer Maja Ivarsson is explicit about her ambition, claiming "I want to be the best female vocalist around...of at least this century".[1] She was featured on Cobra Starship's "Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)", for the film Snakes on a Plane. Their debut album, Living in America, was recorded in Stockholm and produced by Adel Dahdal and Jimmy Monell. It earned them several "best newcomer" awards, a Grammis and a #4 position in the Swedish album charts, and established the band not only in Sweden but also in the United States.
