Rather than settling into one lane, Max sees every project as an opportunity to explore a different side of himself. 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.
