We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Max Bartos a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Max, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?
I’d say my most meaningful project is my album “Memento Mori” I have coming out on October 13th! This album is my largest creative endeavor, and I’m truly so happy with how it turned out!
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
Max Bartos is a twenty-year-old singer/actor from New York City, best known for originating the role of Darren in Sing Street the musical. A self-taught musician that plays six instruments including both acoustic and electric guitar as well as piano, drums, bass, banjo, and mandolin, Max uses these talents to create a unique musical soundscape. Described as a “Romantic Alternative Punk” artist, Max derives inspiration from his Musical Theatre/Broadway background with influences like Duncan Sheik, and seamlessly blends it with his love of Pop Punk/Emo/Alternative sounds of the 00’s from bands like My Chemical Romance, Green Day, Ghost, The Walkmen, and The 1975. Max performs and tours consistently all over the country and is currently working on his new album Memento Mori, releasing in 2023!
Are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?
It’s not even really a physical resource. I honestly wish I knew how important building a network was at the beginning of my career! Branching out and introducing yourself to people, and creating your own opportunities is so important!!
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
Definitely being able to see that my work has an impact on the world. Being able to hear people singing along and having a good time at my concerts seriously means the world to me, and I’m so lucky that I get to do it as a job!
