MAXO -SEX

After absolutely rocking through 2019 and blasting back onto the scene in January with the colossally successful ‘All My Love’, ‘SEX.’,

released on April 17th, continues to define MAXO’s lighthearted, open-book sensibilities.

With his mission to create original material that’s signature to his personal style in tact, MAXO approaches the often-sensitive subject of sex with an uplifting sound that diminishes any sense of awkwardness.

Instead, his concrete ability to craft folk hits stands (in this case) as a reminder that sex is completely natural and something to be enjoyed!

MAXO sets a precedent for independent artists making their mark, without losing a sense of who they are along the way.
