Max will be an upper sixth form student at Bloxham School where he has been part of the Chapel Choir and sung in school productions.

Earlier in the lockdown Max had received a special 'shout out' from popular radio presenter and DJ Chris Moyles.

Growing up listening to club and dance music encouraged him to develop his own DJing skills.

During lockdown Max has been doing just this, providing break-time raves for Bloxham students to bring a little relief and positivity to the remote learning environment,

Chris Moyles, gave Max a shout out during his Friday evening Instagram Live DJ set, saying 'He’s young but he’s very good. Check him out. Give him a watch if you can people.'

Max hosts a weekly Instagram Live DJ set every Friday evening.
