A nouveau-blues exploration of the spectrums of pain and belonging, ‘What Is So Good About Home’ is the first single to be released from Maxim Vaga’s multi-media project ‘This Love’.
‘What is so Good About Home’ offers a music track and video filled with compelling visuals, soulful lyrics, and an invitation into Vaga’s ongoing narrative series ‘This Love’ — a mythological journey through the cycles of life, love, and personal freedom.

WHO IS MAXIM VAGA?
“My pain is your pain, even though I am old and you are young" said an old man to the young troubadour, singer and pianist from Berlin, when he heard him performing in the streets of Paris.
Once driven by his love of film, Maxim Vaga worked in movie and theater productions. He met Patti Smith on the set of Christoph Schlingensief's The Animatograph, and she reminded him of his other great passion, music. Shortly after, he embarked on a long journey through Greece, where he started to write and perform his own songs.
This was followed by concerts in New York, Montreal, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Copenhagen and his hometown Berlin, as well as joint concerts with Marlon Williams, Rhonda, L.A. Salami and Wyvern Lingo.
Strongly influenced by the blues legends and singer-songwriters like Bob Dylan, Tom Waits Maxim Vaga is in search of a musical compass that points in all directions.
He released his debut singles “Don’t Let Her Go” and “Farewell & Hello” in autumn 2019.
Maxim Vaga performs solo as well as accompanied by his band. An EP entitled THIS LOVE is set for release in October 2024.
