Not too sure who MAX is? You’ve probably heard of him under his full name: Max Schneider. Max began his professional career on Broadway in 2008-09 when he was the swing understudy covering four people in the Broadway musical 13. After the show closed, he booked several guest appearances on television shows and studied at the YoungArts Program in Miami. In 2010, Max was even featured in a Dolce & Gabbana ad campaign linking arms with Madonna. However, Max is best known for his role of Zander Robbins on Nickelodeon’s show How to Rock and Nickelodeon’s TV musical starring KeKe Palmer Rags, where he was able to showcase both his acting skills and musical talent as a songwriter and performer, building him a strong fan base. Max Schneider is professionally known as MAX in the music industry and wants this name “to be more of a vehicle for the music.” He has written songs for Nickelodeon, Cody Simpson, Disney’s Shake it Up, and more. He began to change his music style and added more of an edge to his pop/hip-hop/jazz style. Hoodie Allen’s debut album, People Keep Talking, featured MAX on two tracks. 2015 was a big year for MAX as he signed with DCD2 Records, a record label who also signed Fall Out Boy and Panic! At the Disco. MAX also released his first album, NWL, exclusively to those who supported the kickstarter fundraiser which made this album possible. This past April in 2016, MAX released his new album Hell’s Kitchen Angel.

Max’s relationship with his fans is one all artists should strive to have. Max has toured with Victoria Justice, R5, Fall Out Boy, Wiz Khalifa, and Hoodie Allen, but his most recent tour caught everyone’s attention. Hell’s Kitchen Angel features the song “Basement Party.” Max took this title and turned it into a reality, creating the Basement Party Tour. He has been traveling the US throwing parties in his fans’ basements, performing for and meeting those who have gotten him where he is today. Max loves his fans and gives back in the best, coolest ways possible.
