Like so many artists driven to support their dream MAX has covered a lot of ground, literally and metaphorically, to achieve his current standing as one of the UK’s most significant new singer/songwriters. His journey has seen him perform and record around the world, linking with artists and producers such as Lily Allen (he arranged and conducted horns for the album “Alright Still”), Manu Chao (Politik Kills remix), Prince Fatty (guitar, bass and writing credits on the album ”Survival of the Fattest”), Craig Pruess, John Leckie, Mike Pelanconi, Futurecut, Robin Scott, Mattafix, Little Barry, Nostalgia 77, the list goes on…. He has worked as a mastering engineer, an international examiner (for Trinity and Rockschool Exam Boards), a teacher (he was  a faculty member of the Bath International Guitar Festival), has written tutor books, produced short film scores and lectured throughout the UK.

His writing career started while at music college where he formed MAP acoustic guitar duo with Pete Harris (Gareth Gates, Andy Abraham). In the process he created his own independent record label ‘MAP Records’, going on to release numerous recordings, and graduated with a first class degree. His original music has featured on TV and radio around the world from “Greys Anatomy”(US) to “Gardeners World”!. He is a member of the writing panel for Private and Confidential Music, and also regularly co-writes with luminaries such as Craig Pruess (Bend it like Beckham), Lou Mullen (De Souza), Benedict Lamdin (N77), Liz Lenten (Auburn), Prince Fatty etc.

These days he concentrates on his solo career with his debut album scheduled for release later in 2008. His sound combines an eclectic range of influences – from Marvin Gaye to Led Zeppelin, David Bowie to Curtis Mayfield. He has performed internationally sharing stages with Eddie Reader, Katherine Williams, Sixpence None the Richer, Carina Round, Thomas Dolby, Boo Hewerdine, Ashley Slater and many others.

Away from music Max can be found trying to improve his backhand on the squash court, out getting muddy on his bike, or if he’s really lucky - hurtling down a snow covered mountain with a couple of sticks strapped to his feet….
