"Happy" is taken from the album "From The Roots To The Shoots"
From an early age Max was surrounded by the sounds of big band jazz and funk/soul as his father was a music producer for the BBC. These early influences, coupled with time spent in Jamaica as a child (where Max's mother's family was from) inevitably shaped Max's musical tastes. He started learning the piano from age of six, but early experiences of drumming along to his dad's records with two spoons and an array of small to large cushions on the floor left their mark and once he started percussion lessons he never looked back. He was lucky enough to be taught the basic techniques and rudiments by James Blades, a world renowned percussionist who had performed for over sixty years with the best orchestras in the world. After this grounding, Max's kit drumming has been largely self-taught. At school Max was involved with all forms of music from classical to contemporary and he went on to gain a degree in classical music from Edinburgh University. Since graduating, he has returned to his original influences which, along with the experiences of a healthy dance music scene in Edinburgh and London in the early 90's, now pervade his music. As a drummer he has recorded with the likes of Roni Size, King Kooba, Organic Audio and Noel McKoy amongst others. Max has released tunes on Second Skin in London, Om Records in San Francisco, and Cookin' Records (part of LTJ Bukem's Good Looking Organisation.
