Twenty-year-old Max Blansjaar spent the first few years of his musical career as a virtuoso classical pianist. In late 2017 he started to experiment with his unique brand of lo-fi pop music, capturing attention on the DIY scene with a seamless combination of chunky grunge guitars, jagged samples and intelligent, witty lyricism.
His energetic live shows, complete with multi-instrumentalist four-piece band and pocket-sized drum machine, have earned him support slots with acts including Personal Trainer, Willie J Healey and Jeffrey Lewis.
