Human
Born and raised in a small town in Germany, Max Embers started learning classical piano at the age of six and wrote his first song when he was just thirteen years old. After winning first place in the nationwide singing and songwriting competition Jugend Musiziert in Germany, he went on to study at Berklee College of Music in Boston, one of the leading contemporary music institutions in the world. There, he had the privilege of working and sharing the stage with legends like multi-platinum selling artist Paula Cole and Emmy, Tony Award and Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Harry Belafonte. After graduating from Berklee with a Bachelor’s Degree in Songwriting in 2016, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue his career as a writer and artist and has since worked with notable industry talents such as Grammy Award winning songwriter Anita McCloud and platinum selling record producer Sam Barsh. His sophomore single "The Way I See You Now" was co-written with Emily Shearman and produced by Moritz Braun. Following his debut single "Lying", the song blends the atmospheric nostalgia of The 1975 with memorable pop-gold melodies à la Troye Sivan.
Max shares his story through music. He hopes that he will give his listeners what musicians like John Mayer, Lianne La Havas and Coldplay have given him – honest, real and intimate songs that will make you feel a little less lonely and a little more understood. His goal is to bring as many different kinds of people together as possible; to connect and create a shared experience because in the end we are all the same. Nothing more, nothing less, just human.
