Máximo (born in Coimbra, 2003) completed his degree in Jazz Composition at Codarts Rotterdam, in the Netherlands. Despite his classical training, it is his self-taught forays into composing original pieces that highlight his aptitude for fusing musical styles. It is precisely this elegant boldness, perpendicular to his entire career, that has opened doors for him and sharpened his interest in deepening the connection between his music and other cultural universes, finding “stages” that privilege dialogue over monologue, both creative and performative.
