| Biography |
Raised on a large sheep property in Australia, then on a horse stud in an area Max Sharam Video called Musical Gully (named for the sounds of picks and shovels from the gold rush era), Max came of age in an atmosphere of wide open spaces that imposed no bounds on her imagination.
While graduating from Performing Arts College, majoring in Behavioural Science, Max brought her guitar to Europe, where she sang, wrote and performed her own compositions in clubs throughout. She also teamed up with a group of Madonnaro artists and traversed France, Switzerland and Italy, painting and singing on the streets.
While performing in Florence, RAI News Anchor & Producer Carlo Picone invited Max to audition for Forza Venite Gente, a popular musical in Rome, for which she landed the lead role, allowing Max to work alongside some of Italy's greatest talents. The hit musical played to full houses then toured for two years.

She received the Star of the Year award at Genoa's Cole Porter Festival, recorded a dance LP I'm Occupied, and her story La Ragazza con La Chitarra was documented for RAI TV.

After somewhat of a bidding war Max signed with Warner Music and later that year Warner released her EP, Coma. A warped celebration of revenge, humor, and post-modern genre blending.

(I'll creep 'round your garden til daybreak, I'll look through your window'til dawn, I'm hoping to catch me an eyeful, of your love and you doing porn...I'm coming to get you...)

With Max...liberation comes from embracing the unexplainable...
