Max Ley

Hailing from a family of musicians, Max Ley picked up a guitar when he was 12 years old and was hooked. "I was entranced by the melodies and guitar solos of classic rock artists like Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and Chuck Berry," he says. "Later on I found soulful hip-hop and R&B, and this blend of genres influenced the way I create house music today." After focusing on other passions during his college years, Ley spent COVID-19 lockdown returning to his roots on the guitar and keyboard, as well as polishing up on music theory and house drum patterns. This led him to his current production style, in which he blends melodic synths, powerful soul vocals, and four to the floor drums to create high-energy club bangers. Based in New York, Ley is in the heart of the house music scene and aims to release music that people feel in their soul.
