Growing up in Des Moines, Iowa, Max writes, sings, plays guitar and piano, and has a voice like no other. The singer songwriter released his stunning self-titled debut album to critical acclaim with breakthrough hit ‘Numb’ and tours with the likes of Lana Del Rey and Rufus Wainwright. The follow up ‘Modern World’ was a musical departure from his first record. he became intoxicated with jazz musicians, particularly vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald, Johnny Hartman and Chet Baker along with the incredible musicianship of the likes of John Coltrane, Miles Davis and Donald Byrd. Those influences filter into ‘Modern World’ alongside more contemporary touchstones such as Phoebe Bridgers and the electronic pop production values of Kanye West.
