Maxine Davis

Maxine Davis is a successful Southern Songstress originating from the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. Maxine’s prospering music career has landed her performances on numerous stages, and even appearances on multiple television shows. She released her first project ‘She is Maxine’ in March 2016. Maxine entices her audience with her soulful voice, entrancing melodies, and powerful lyrics that will leave any listener in awe. From an early age Maxine has been intrigued by music. Her greatest influence in her musical career is Whitney Houston. “[Maxine] truly felt as if she was called to sing after hearing the late and great Whitney Houston on the radio.”

Maxine’s music shares many characteristics of Whitney’s, such as soul, powerful vocals, and emotional connections with the audience. Maxine’s persona is a strong independent woman, which she earns in her Motown inspired hit single, ‘You Could Have Told Me’. My favourite line from the song is “I’m not your baby, you lost that chance when you lied, none of your calls get replies”. She sings this with confidence, emotion, and power. While listening to the song it is easy to become immersed in the storyline and feel the pain of Maxine, but you also feel her strength to overcome the hurt and it leaves you feeling empowered. The storyline is relatable and ends with a positive, feel good message. Maxine uses her vocal talent to connect with listeners in a way that allows every lyric to be not only understood, but felt. This is an uncommon characteristic in artists in this generation and it is refreshing seeing her use her talent to her fullest potential.

Hi Maxine, it's great to chat with you! Can you tell our readers a bit about you! What do you enjoy most about creating & singing music?

What I love about creating and singing music is that you can take the listener on a journey. You can design a whole new world through sound. I find it so amazing how music can evoke the rawest emotions straight from your soul.

Love your new single and video for “You Could Have Told Me", can you tell us about the creation process for both the song and video? We'd love to hear more about it!
Well this song, and a few others off my upcoming album, are an ode to the 1960’s Motown era. I grew up listening to all genres but to me, that period of music is truly timeless!

Once I heard the beat, the melody came almost instantly. I knew it was going to be about love, but I gave it a twist. I added a bit of pain to it. To me, love isn’t always flowery and pretty. It can be tough, it can be hurtful, but thats what makes you appreciate the great moments even more.

I’m filming the music video in a few days! I am so excited to add a visual to this song. It will be a beautiful, vintage inspired, story of self-reclamation.

What are three things you'd love for people to know about you?

Stay tuned for my next single “Say Yes”! The release date is July 1st.Besides being an Artist, I also own and run an energetic healing company named Crystal Eyes Healing. We just launched our new site! Its filled with Crystals, jewelry, readings, and other magical offerings! You can check it out here (crystaleyeshealing.com). I am looking to collaborate with an indie female rapper on a song that I am currently penning. So, if that is any of you readers, please reach out to me!

What's next for you through 2019?

What’s next for me is a lot of creating! Writing for myself and others. I’ll be finishing up my album by the end of this year, as well as, producing a couple more visuals. Performing anywhere and everywhere I can. I have a special gig with Sofar Sounds on June 26th and I would love for those who dig my music to come out and support! Feel free track me on Bandsintown to stay up to date on all upcoming shows. - BUZZMUSIC

Today we’d like to introduce you to Maxine Davis.

Maxine, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I’m a Singer – Songwriter who also has an energetic healing business named Crystal Eyes Healing. Growing up in South Texas gave me the opportunity to experience and appreciate many styles of music. This allowed me to truly cultivate the sound and message that I want to bring forth through all my creations. My roots are strongly tied to R&B, Jazz, and Pop. I like to meld that magical trio in my music as much as I can.

Since moving to Los Angeles, I have been lucky enough to be able to share my passion in multiple venues, as well as, television shows like: “MTV’s Copycat” and “The John Kerwin Show”. Now, I am currently penning my first full album and will be releasing my 2nd single off of it titled “Say Yes” in July. So stay tuned!

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
I think my struggles are similar to any Artist. You go through periods of self-doubt, then boom, a major breakthrough occurs. For anyone reading this that feels stuck, unsuccessful, or misunderstood, I want you to know that your creative voice matters and now is not the time to stop! Keep creating, keep grinding, and you will get to where you want to be!

We’d love to hear more about your business.
My company Crystal Eyes Healing was created in 2015 with the intention to positively touch as many lives as possible through Crystals, jewelry, intuitive readings, and Reiki. Since conception, I has been able to do just that by supplying beings worldwide with the knowledge to awaken their innate curative capabilities.

Everything presented through this company is filled with powerful love made to spark an electrifying transformation.

What were you like growing up?
I was blessed to grow up in a family filled with music lovers. My parents listened to the greats like Whitney Houston, Etta James, Louis Armstrong, Sam Cooke, and so many others that paved the way for Artists like myself. Singing, writing, and performing, have always been huge parts of my life. I was a shy kid in most social settings, but hand me a microphone, and put me on a stage, a totally different person would manifest. Music allowed me to have a voice in times when it felt difficult to truly convey my emotions.
