Max Muscato lives for the underdog. His journey is nothing short of extraordinary—surviving attempted suicide, a stabbing, addiction, and the trials of growing up with a single father and an absent mother, all while caring for an autistic addict brother who survived a gunshot wound from a police officer after becoming entangled with crime and gangs. Through it all, Max has transformed his adversity into powerful music that defies victimhood, embracing and confronting his demons head-on. Max is asking the question: Are you the hero in your life?

With a distinctive sound that blends John Mayer’s soulful depth with the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ energetic edge, Max has captivated audiences and secured opening slots with bands like Theory Of A Deadman, Finger Eleven, Big Wreck, and Andrew Cushin. His upcoming singles, "Demons" and "Lunatic," slated for release in 2025, promise to continue his trend of bold, impactful music.

In spite of his challenges, Max founded Rock Autism, in honor of his brother Sonny Muscato. His deeply personal songs, inspired by Sonny’s struggles with autism and addiction, drive his artistic passion and activism. Proceeds from his tour are donated to Rock Autism programs, helping individuals with autism forge careers in music and film, furthering Max’s mission to prevent isolation, depression, addiction incarceration and suicide.

In addition to his touring music career, Max is actively workshopping his feature film, Sonnyboy, and his musical, Monsters In My Head.
