Max'C says, I grew up in a home surrounded by music, all types of music.With his roots in gospel he found himself at a young age singing in school plays, choirs, and early into his teens with friends on the street corners.
However, his biggest break came when he teamed up with James Black and Kari Kaivola to form the group 3rd Nation. Their debut album "One Nation" was recorded with Mega Mania Records and did well in Finland landing them an international record deal with SweMix Records out of Sweden. Hit producer Stonebridge, most well known for the hit song "Show Me Love" with Robin S., produced 3rd Nations second album .."Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind". Released in 1993, with the single .."I Believe".. landing the group their first Top10 Singles Billboard hit coming in at ..8 The song received lots of attention with MTV Europe and America playing the video, a host of remixes recorded, and noted as a DJ club favorite. The second single.. "Real Love".. a cover of the Jody Watley's,(formally from the group "Shalamar" continued to bring the spotlight on the group.
In 1999, Max'C decided that he wanted to focus his efforts on a solo career teaming up with Jaakko Salovaara a.k.a. JS16. Jaakko,excecutive producer of Max'C's, solo album... "Passin Tyme".., launched in 2004. The singles.. "Caroline".. and.. "Time to Get it On".. have both received great attention and airplay making Max'C a favored performer in the Finnish and European market.

Dear heavenly Father, thank you for giving me your Holy Spirit to live in me. He is in me a wellspring of water, springing up unto everlasting life. Thank you for giving me your Spirit to guide me. Now I can find my way in life and live the life you've called me to live. I recognize the Holy Spirit as my Helper today and I open my heart and mind to receive and learn from Him. Lord, I trust completely in the ability of the Holy Spirit, and I declare that I am constantly experiencing and enjoying the best things of God as I yield myself to His leading and guidance, in Jesus' Name Amen
