USA BASED DJ AND ARTIST.
Max fell in love with music, recording sound and the visual arts at an early age. Exposed to Jazz, Rock, R&B, Soul and Experimental music by his father Bill Goodwin a prolific Jazz drummer, Grammy award winner and record producer.
Hitting the road with bands his father was playing in forged a strong bond of rhythm, composition and arrangement in the young guys mind. Max says of those times, “I would be out at gigs in NYC and all over the East with these jazz cats and a just be blown away by the improvisations and their attitude, then I would fall asleep backstage in the stand up bass case.
