| | Maximilian Forbes Alexander Scott Graham, or Max Graham, (born in 17 April 1971 in London, United Kingdom), is a British-Canadian DJ, composer, and producer. He was born in London, England and lived in Spain, New York City and Los Angeles before settling in Ottawa, Canada in 1989. At age 15 in 1986, he began as a hip-hop DJ before discovering dance music in the 90’s. He was the resident at the famed Atomic Nightclub in Ottawa from 1997-2001. He has been touring globally as a DJ and producing melodic dance music since 2000.
Around 1992, when progressive house was at its beginning stages, Graham was exposed to the sounds of BT and Underworld. He was inspired by the selections of DJs like Paul Oakenfold and Sasha and decided to turn his music attention to spreading their sound throughout Canada. Though trance was spreading in Europe, only a few DJs were playing it in Canada. Though it took a few years, Canada caught on and made Graham one of its busiest progressive DJs. Kinetic Records took notice of Graham, giving him the helm for volume four of their Tranceport series, released in May of 2001. A bit prior to the mix album's release, Graham started producing in a small studio, with three of four of the tracks appearing on dance music charts in the U.K. and Europe. - Diana Potts / All Music Guide |
