Producer, singer/song-writer and multi-instrumentalist MAX RAD has been putting out self-reflective and heartfelt electronica alongside deeply emotional lyricism for the best part of 3 years. With a string of very well received singles and a double EP entitled ‘Save Me From Myself’, Max’s self-produced works have been championed by the likes of Annie Mac (BBC Radio 1) and John Kennedy (Radio X), as well as strong playlisting across all streaming platforms, and have led to sold out shows in the UK and Germany, as well a BBC Introducing live Session at London’s Maida Vale Studios.
Brought up in the rural setting of Stroud in Gloucestershire, Max began writing and recording songs aged 6. Moving to London in 2018 and working out of anywhere he could find to set up, Max began producing, co-writing and mixing for other artists, including UK Dance music royalty Faithless, as well as Nathan Ball, Icarus, Laura Welsh, Havelock and Elle Yaya. When writing music for his own project however, Max sought out the peace that he was used to from his childhood, often disappearing down to the coast of Devon allowing for less distractions and therefore reaching much deeper places emotionally. With a love of electronic music, mixed with a passion for words and melody, this combination of melancholy lyricism and upbeat production is what separates Max from the crowd.
Now Max is living in Cornwall, with COVID-19 disrupting what would have been a busy year of live shows, he has escaped the city and is concentrating on producing new material and working remotely on various other projects, with new releases in the works for 2021.
