                    [Summary] => With his tall, lanky frame and spiky, jagged hair, he could very well be the perfect frontman for an indie pop/rock outfit – pumping out massive, ear-splitting volumes of six-string fury while his bandmates tease, taunt and act out their spandex-laden, angst-riddled rock and roll fantasies onstage.


But looks can be deceiving, and the apparent irony becomes all the more obvious the minute Maksim Mrvica’s long, nimble fingers hover effortlessly over the gleaming keys of a Steinway grand.

Just as Josh Groban conquered the hit charts of the world with his youth and classical vocals and just as the pretty and petite Vanessa Mae made the violin a popular musical  instrument, so too has Maksim taken his piano playing to popularity among the hip younger set.

If he were French, it would be Maxim, like the famous restaurant in Paris. If he were Spanish or Filipino, it will be Maximo. But since he comes from Croatia, one of those countries in the old Yugoslavia, he spells his name as Maksim. And as simply Maxim is how he is getting to be known in these parts of the world although people here balk at coming up with a pronounciable sound that approximates his family name of Mrvica.
