The distinctive singer for Our Lady Peace as well having a few solo albums. Maida's most well-known trait is his trademark nasal falsetto, combined with a very unique tremolo-esque vibrato and erratic octave jumps give way to a very idiosyncratic character which he used to great effect on the band's first four albums, in addition to also occasionally showcasing his lower range which show the true weight of his voice. Since "Gravity" onwards, partially thanks to producer Bob Rock's coaching, Maida nowadays tends to opt more towards his mid to lower range, which definitely gives a different character on the band's later albums while also not sacrificing the poignancy and depth he has portrayed before.
