He plays all the basic instruments of rock: drums, bass, guitar and keyboards, as well as several other instruments. Since the beginning of his professional career he writes, arranges and produces all of his music, and collaborates with other top artists and producers.

He started his rich career in 1987, when his debut album “Introducing the Hardline” brought him international success. He won the Grammy Award in 1988 as The Best Male Rhythm and Blues Vocal Performer, while in June 1988 he appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine and was nominated for the Brit Award in the category of “Best International New Artist.”

In the following years, he released three studio albums: “Neither Fish nor Flesh” in 1989, “Symphony or Damn” in 1993 and “Vibrator” in 1995.

These albums feature many famous songs, including scores from legendary Hollywood films such as Beverly Hills Cop 3, High Fashion, The Promised Land (Bastarden), The Fanatic, Shake, Rattle & Roll, Frankie and Johnny…

Sananda Maitreya (who started his career under the stage name Terence Trent D’Arby) is known to the local audience for legendary hits such as: Sign your name, Rain, Wishing well, Delicate, Holding on to you, Dance little sister, If you let me stay… and others

At the age of 33, after the series of dreams he took the name Sananda Maitreya, which represented a new starting point for the artist, and in 2001 it became his official name. His fifth album, “WildCard!”, marked his new beginning as an independent artist.

After this, several albums followed, and on most of his albums, Maitreya plays all the instruments. The latest double album “Pandora’s PlayHouse” was released on March 15, 2021.

The Dolby Atmos remastered digital edition of his cult album “Introducing The Hardline” was released on July 8, 2022.

In 2023, Maitreya released the documentary film and live album “Welcome To The MadHouse: The Costa Rica Sessions”, which won Best Documentary Music at the 2023 Berlin Kiez Film Festival and Best Feature Documentary at International Gold Awards 2023.

Sananda describes his music as post-millennium rock, and its main elements are heart and soul, its nature is passion, courage and curiosity. Maitreya‘s vision of post-millennium rock is music without limitations and marketing pressures. This music does not recognize any rules, but its only goal is to make the listener return to his heart, to encourage him to think and bring him closer to his true feelings. His music combines all genres that the artist has loved since childhood: opera, country, classical, jazz, blues, gospel, pop, reggae, as well as rock.
