Artist Bio

With a genepool from the UK but born and raised in Austria, songwriter/producer Max Hustwick, who goes by the artist persona happysadmedium, came to 
Liverpool in 2018 to pursue his passion for bedroom producing at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. By no means a virtuoso in any given instrument, he 
creates a sonic scenery through simple yet effective song writing and production 
methods.  
 
Max started playing trumpet at the age of 6 years old. Throughout his childhood and youth, he was involved with various musicals and 
played in traditional Austrianmarching bands. As a teenager he taught himself guitar and piano and started to sing. When he was 16,
he started to write songs but focused more the production of the songs. He soon realised that his favourite thing to do was producing music. 
Max has been working on his sound ever since and has now reached a point where he is happy to show it to the world.  
 
Max, like many other producers his age, idolizes artists such as Frank Ocean, and James Blake. 
Relying heavily on the modern mediums that allow musicians to create and write songs from the comfort of their laptop, 
it is not possible to place Max´s music in any one box and each production will walk you through a different landscape, 
all part of the same universe. Each song is pleasing in its originality, yet with a familiar thread of his voice and carefully chosen sounds and melodies.  
Max endeavours to spark an emotional response and to give the listener a feeling of comfortable melancholy and escapism. 
His songs, like the project name suggests, contain a universal sentiment of the feelings that range from happy to sad and everything in between. 
In 2018 he joined the Tyrolian indie label superplusrecords.
