Max Maximilian - Piano Man

Max Maximilian is an Israeli born performer to Russian parents. It is no surprise that Max has lived a life filled with music as he was raised by his maternal grandmother, a lover of music herself, and music teacher. From a young age Max learnt to play the guitar, piano, trumpet, accordion, and harmonica but his true passion is the piano. In his late teens and early twenties Max lead a 13-piece soul band performing at weddings, birthdays, and many of Joburg’s night clubs. It was during this time that he met his wife, Liza K who was a singer in his band and now has a prolific career as a T.V. producer. The couple live with their two children in the leafy suburbs of Johannesburg. Max is at his happiest when sitting behind a piano performing to crowds and believes his soul-mission in life is to spread the joy of music to as many people as possible. It is to this end he often performs concerts free of charge to the elderly community. Max’s repertoire includes the hits of Frank Sinatra, Elton John and Elvis Presley. In Max’s household Christmas is a big deal and what better way to end any year than with the glorious music of the season. Max loves the deeper meaning of the traditional carols and rates these songs as some of the best written music of all time and amongst his favorites on his Christmas set list. One Man, One Voice, One Piano.
