Max Philips is a music producer, rapper, and singer from Los Angeles, Ca. He was born on November 19th, 1992 in Mission Viejo, California and was raised in San Clemente, California, a beach town about 70 miles south of Los Angeles. He attended San Clemente high School and San Juan Hills High School where he graduated from in 2011. He then attended the University of Colorado Boulder. After college he moved back to Southern California to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. He moved around the west-side of Los Angeles, like Venice Beach and Culver City before settling in Santa Monica.

After moving through some temporary jobs in search of something more permanent, he found an internship which later lead to a full-time position at a production company in Santa Monica called Animated Storyboards. There, he managed digital artists and art projects that provided storyboards and special digital art to advertising agencies in the ad industry. He worked there for 3 years before leaving the company to freelance on his own as a graphic and web designer.

While freelancing, Max found more time to pursue his music, which at the time was more of a hobby and passion than a career. Then, in less than a year after leaving Animated Storyboards in March of 2016, he wrote, recorded and produced 13 musical singles ranging from pop to rap to EDM. Not having a solid path to how to get his music exposed, he embarked on a digital scavenger hunt to find a service that would deliver his music to streaming platforms world wide.

After searching for some time, he found DistroKid, a service that publishes your music to streaming platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, and Tidal.

Since Max studied art, graphic & web design in college, he applied that towards his own music and created his own album artwork, digital promotions and emails using services like Mailchimp to push his music to new audiences.

Now, the artist has 65,000+ streams and climbing on every major streaming platform online. His rap+EDM song "Death of an Ego" has made waves and recognized playlists ever since its release in December of 2017. His 2018 single "Slow Motion" where the artist experimented with outside production shows the artist's versatility in the popular style of autotune rap, while his personal favorite song "Paper in my Pockets" demonstrates more organic rap/sing vocals in the pop+hiphop genre.

You can find his music all over the internet by searching "Max Philips Music".
