Musical career

In 2013, after she tried luck with another band and that didn't work out, she was invited to join Aeverium and they started recording their EP The Harvest.[3] Later on, their debut album Break Out was released in 2015, with follow-up Time being released in early 2017. During the European tour with Aeverium and Kamelot in 2016, Aeva was invited to sing on stage with Kamelot.

On 12 September 2017, Xandria announced Aeva would be filling in temporarily for Dianne van Giersbergen in November and December. However, on the following day Dianne announced her official departure of the band. Former Xandria singers Lisa Middelhauve and Manuela Kraller released statements about this, and so did Aeverium. Nevertheless, Xandria continued touring with Aeva until 2019. During those months, a temporal replacement in Aeverium was found in Micky Houijsmans (ex End of the Dream). Later on, during the tour with Xandria she joined Secret Rule on stage, singing along fellow guest singer Ailyn (ex Sirenia). Aeva left Aeverium on 11 September 2018.[1]

In 2020 Aeva joined forces with Maxi Nil for a project called She & Her Darkness.[4] She will also perform lead and backing vocals for Vivaldi Metal Project's next album.[5]

Maurelle also leads a solo career; she published her first single, Dreamer, on 12 November 2020.
