Max Reuben is a singer, songwriter, producer and multi- instrumentalist from Wollongong, Australia, whose music refuses to stay confined to a single genre.

Max first emerged in 2015 as a founding member of the rock band Left Lane, where he co-wrote, recorded and performed original music, releasing several singles and an EP before departing the group in 2020 to pursue his own creative vision.
