Maxi Wild

Maxi Wild is a feisty as hell electronica singer, songwriter and producer. Her music can best be described as irresistibly catchy, beat driven and laced with cheeky yet pertinent lyrics that touch on subjects such as, growing up on a council estate (the British equivalent of US tenement projects) in London and the annoying guy who talks too loud at the bar.

Growing up in Woolwich, South East London wasn’t easy. Spending most of her early years as a runaway she was full of determination and drive, knowing since the age of 9 that all she wanted to do was write and perform music. Maxi ended up attending the BRIT school aged 14 where she stayed until she was thrown out at age 17. During which she was recruited by manager Joe Chibley and was soon working with the likes of the Beat Masters (Betty Boo, The Shamen) and Chris Corner (IAMX, Sneaker Pimps).

Despite being kicked out of every school attended, she managed to infiltrate the prestigious Kingston University to study sound recording and production. From there she fled her destitute beginnings in London to embark on a West Coast tour of the US with Novocain who recruited her to front the band. It wasn’t a tough choice and Maxi decided to move to LA permanently in 2006. Upon arrival she quickly knuckled down to begin writing new material and then sought out a drummer and bassist to complete her live line up. Four years on she has made a huge splash on the Hollywood music scene playing regular slots at Club Moscow, Cinespace and the Downtown Los Angeles Artwalk.
