Hey hey! Thank you for wanting to know more about me. As you might have figured out, my name is Mayte. For most of my life, I have been working on music. I’ve grown up doing it, and I can’t really remember my life without music. I started at 5 years old and have been exploring music ever since. Throughout my life, I started getting interested in teaching. This didn’t come as a surprise as I was teaching the youngest primary school kids how to dance in primary school breaks outside (and no, I had no clue what I was doing). I’ve always loved being around kids, whether they’re 5 months old or 10 years old. I got to explore teaching, tutoring, and actually being in front of a class. A few of my other hobbies/passions are numbers/maths (yes, really), making videos/films, doing musicals, babysitting and much more! If you’d like to go even more in-depth about me, keep reading.

Apart from violin, I quickly started to get a taste for other instruments. When I was about 6 or 7, I started private piano lessons. This also transferred to the conservatory when I got accepted. At the conservatory, I had to sing in theory lessons and later in the choir, which I absolutely loved. Singing those soprano lines made me smile from ear to ear. When I was 13, I started singing other genres like pop music. I actually started posting live covers of myself at that age as well, though when I started to do proper covers, I made those private as I was genuinely embarrassed… I still am, actually… My first proper cover was posted at 14, and it’s been a fantastic journey since!

Vlogs:
I’ve always loved recording and filming myself, I guess. Maybe it’s because of music, but it’s definitely something I find a lot of joy in. From filming to editing to releasing. I started creating those videos when I was 13 with a friend. Those are all really embarrassing, though, so when I started doing those videos on my own, I made those private. Most of those beginning vlogs are also private now, as I started out in Dutch, but as soon as I switched to English, I kept them all online. (Though I beg of you, don’t go down that rabbit hole… Nothing pretty awaits you there…). I went through several phases with that account. When I was 15, my little sister joined it for a while, and we changed the name to “Sisters Levenbach” (cute, huh?). At 16, we invited others to post their vlogs as well, but I took over the account again at 17 when I moved out of my parent’s home (and also changed the name). I did a few videos with my now husband, but as it’s mainly still me on that channel, the name changed back to include just me.
