Max'C has style like Stevie Wonder and vocal flavour like Charlie Wilson... You can hear influences from the old greats to new school...
Whether were talking about gospel, soul, or R&B, Max'C can transcend you to magical, mystical places with his smooth vocal styles. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, this multi-talented entertainer has crossed boundaries that artists only dream of. From Billboard hits, to topping the charts in over 12 European countries, Max'C is definitely the man to keep an eye on. Singer/Songwriter, Performer, Dancer, Choreographer, and even Actor.
His father was an enthusiast of blues and jazz, while his mother and siblings are Gospel singers. 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.
After a chance meeting with Finnish Producer/Musician Risto Asikainen,led him to his first recording deal with Fazer Music, Finland. Teaming up with Finnish songstress Stiina Tarvonen in 1986 their debut album landed them on the charts.
Once in the spotlight the opportunities continued to come his way. From 1988 thru 1990 Max'C, showcased all of his talents performing in a cabarets,TV commercials,and dance shows.This allowed him to not only sing and dance, but as well introducing him to acting. Initially taking on roles in two mini-series ~ the first titled .."Walker".. where he played a New York under cover police detective and the second .."Code 01 for Murder".., gave him the role of a CIA agent. This led to his first movie .."To An Unknown God".., released in 1997 this time playing an FBI agent covering as a member in a Swing band. And most recently, he has received high acclaim and recognition for his latest role in "Kings of Jazz" where he played an American sailor in the 1950s,where he had three big solo songs.
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 Billboard hit coming in at ..8.. on the Hot 100 Singles Charts. 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.
Max'C has also dropped his talents to a number of artists on a variety of tracks. Topping the charts in over 12 countries, Max'C is credited with writing and performing the hook, for the Finnish Hit band...Bomfunk MC's "Live Your Life"(The Bomfunk MC's is known for the HIT song "FreeStyler"). He toured with the group to promote the song and later featured for artists such as Mighty 44, Blacknuss, and the Dallas Superstars.
Max'C's latest project with Hit Producer..Axwell (Stockholm,Sweden) ...has produced a Mega hit song by the name of.."I Found You"..that is currenty one of the biggest smashes in Ibiza and all over the UK at the moment!!...
When he is not performing, Max'C can be found in the studio writing and recording for his upcoming album.
