Mrvica was bornon 3rd May, 1975in Šibenik, Croatia. He took up piano lessons from the age of nine from MarijaSekso and gave his first public performance in the same year.
Mrvica went on to study at the Music Academy in Zagreb where he spent five years under Professor Vladimir Krpan, who himself was a pupil of Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. He then spent a year at the Franz Liszt Conservatoire in Budapest and during this year he won first prize at the Nikolai Rubinstein International Piano Competition.
Soon after this launch Mrvica was spotted by the musician, author and manager TončiHuljić, who composed several tracks for the crossover string quartet, Bond, and it was Tonči who put Mrvica in touch with British impresarioMel Bush. Mel had, by chance, been looking for a new pianist for some time and he recognisedMaksim's potential to appeal to a wide range of audience.
