SEEKING
Band to Join, Bass Guitar, Lead Guitar, Piano, Rhythm Guitar, Vocalist.ABOUT
Based in Crozet, Virginia, Maxwell Mandell has been interested in music nearly his whole life. Starting with piano at the age of eight years old, drums at around eleven years old, and guitar at fifteen years old. His first surge of musical creativity was when his first band was established - Fair Verona. Once the content of that band dwindled off, he decided to go explore music more. Influenced by many artists and genres, including Foo Fighters (rock), Twenty One Pilots (pop), Passafire (reggae), ToTheArk (Metal), and DSME (numerous genres), he decided to try and write his own music.
His next musical endeavor was a short-lived band called "Aesthetic Third." It was a rock band inspired by Led Zeppelin. Though nothing was released from this band, they did perform a few shows, including a couple at the TomTom Festival in Charlottesville, Virginia.
After the short-term project deteriorated, he took a break from music and produced more content for his entertainment + art company, Minpin Studios. Once the break was over, he jumped right back where he left off - creating and writing his own music. He got better at doing this the more he created.
