"From the moment I first picked up a guitar at the age of 11, I knew it was love at first sight. After my first performance in front of a packed auditorium just a few months later, I knew music was what I was born to do. I've never looked back since then."
Inspired by the high-energy retro rock of the 80's and 90's, Max is in a lifelong pursuit of guitar mastery. He strives to make every show he plays better than the last, both visually and musically. Having had the opportunities to perform onstage with renowned national acts like Winger, Great White, Slaughter, and Squeeze (Billboard) at a young age, Max is experienced on the stage and seeks to always deliver performances that audiences will never forget. He brings 110% effort and innovation to every project he's a part of.
