Mai Leisz (pronounced Lease) is a bass player and composer from the shadowland of the North: post-soviet country Estonia, where she was born and raised. In 2010 she made the move to Sweden where she honed her craft as an electric bass player and composer.

In June 2015 Mai was invited to sit in with Jackson Browne and his band at Stockholm Waterfront. Thus began a whirl-wind adventure for a girl, who started her life on an island, in a village of 250 people and who now found herself relocating to Los Angeles, recording, writing and touring with a two-time member of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame – David Crosby; performing with Jackson Browne, Joan Baez, Jim Keltner and Charles Lloyd among others.
MaiGroup has released three albums: “Luv” (2013), “You” (2015) and the third album “Metamorphosis” was released in April 2019 featuring world renowned guests such as Bill Frisell, David Crosby, Charles Lloyd and Greg Leisz.
