About Max
My name is Max, and I am a music producer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, performer, and experienced mentor with more than a decade of professional creative experience.
My production work has earned multiple Beatport #1 releases, as well as a #14 placement on the Beatport Indie Dance and Nu-Disco chart. My music has appeared on a Beatport compilation alongside internationally recognized artists, and I have contributed original music, sound design, recording, and audio editing to independent film and game projects.
In addition to producing and releasing my own music, I have performed extensively as a guitarist, bassist, vocalist, and harmonica player. I work in both Logic Pro and Ableton Live and have experience with songwriting, arrangement, recording, vocal production, mixing, mastering, and preparing music for release.
I have coached developing producers and songwriters through structured programs, individual mentoring, and hands-on creative collaboration. I understand that learning music can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when technology, theory, and creativity collide. My role is to make those subjects understandable, help you identify what is holding you back, and give you practical steps toward becoming a more confident and independent musician.
Students can expect lessons that are prepared, encouraging, honest, and tailored to their goals. I take each student’s progress seriously and aim to create a professional environment where questions are welcomed, experimentation is encouraged, and every lesson leads to measurable improvement.

My lessons are practical, personalized, and built around the music you want to make. Whether you are learning guitar, producing your first track, or trying to finish songs in Logic Pro or Ableton, we will work directly on real music rather than spending the entire lesson studying abstract theory or disconnected exercises.
A typical lesson begins with a quick review of your goals and current challenges. We then focus on one or two specific skills—such as guitar technique, rhythm, chord progressions, songwriting, arrangement, recording, vocal production, gain staging, mixing, or navigating your DAW. You will apply each concept during the lesson, and we will finish with a clear, manageable assignment to keep you progressing between sessions.
What sets me apart is my ability to connect musicianship with modern production. I am a Beatport #1 producer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, mixing engineer, and experienced mentor. I have released charting music, produced across multiple genres, performed extensively as a guitarist, bassist, vocalist, and harmonica player, and coached developing artists and producers through both technical and creative challenges.
I do not force every student through the same curriculum. Lessons are adapted to your musical taste, experience, learning style, and goals. I can help you learn guitar through songs you enjoy, turn an unfinished idea into a complete arrangement, understand Logic Pro or Ableton, improve your recordings and mixes, or become more confident making creative decisions independently.
These lessons are best suited for beginner and intermediate guitarists, songwriters, artists, and producers who want supportive instruction, honest feedback, and practical skills they can immediately use in their own music.
