Maxwell
Maxwell is his middle name; he has chosen to keep his first and last
name private out of safety for his family. He was born to a Black
Puerto Rican father and a Black American mother. The loss of his father
at the age of three in plane crash (he was returning to his native
country for a visit), greatly impacted him as a person and as an
artist. Maxwell first performed in a Baptist church, and was heavily
inspired by the work of artists such as Marvin Gaye and Prince. Maxwell
began his interest in music at the age of 17 by writing songs. He
eventually got a record deal with Columbia Records in 1994 when he was
21 years old.
