Max baby never really learned how to make mu-

sic. He simply did it — instinctively, obsessively. Raised

near Bourges, far from any recognizable scene, he built his

first drum kit at six from his mother’s cookie tins. Then

came the piano and the guitar, each absorbed without gui-

dance, before he began recording his own songs — lear-

ning by experimenting, failing, and starting again.

The name Baby isn’t a stage name but a family inheritance,

passed down for three generations, born from an adoption

that followed World War I. A story marked by lineage, dis-

tance, and rupture. Max also experiences synesthesia: for

him, sounds evoke textures, colours, and spatial impres-

sions. He doesn’t just hear music; he sees it, feels it, shapes it.

Now based at Greasy Studios in Montmagny, once home

to the cult French band Magma, he recorded his debut

EP OUT OF CONTROL, INTO THE WALL under a strict

rulebook: real instruments, live arrangements, no excess.

The result was a raw, high-voltage record, direct to the

point of abrasion.

His new EP, BREAK, expands that approach. Across seven

tracks, he turns disillusionment and collapse into raw mat-

ter, where post-modern indie, alternative rock, experimen-

tal pop and electronica merge. If his debut captured the

moment of impact, BREAK lingers in its aftermath — the

echo, the silence, the rebuilding.

A true multi-instrumentalist, Max writes, plays, produces,

and shapes every song himself. His fingerprints appear

alongside Weyes Blood, Drugdealer, Sega Bodega, Clara

Luciani, Fearybabyy, Goldie Boutilier, and Hannah Ja-

dagu, for whom he produced Aperture and co-produced

her new album Describe on Sub Pop. In October 2025, he

co-produced “melodrama” by disiz and Theodora, a No. 1

hit in France praised for its organic production, 80s-inflec-

ted synths, and emotional intensity.

As a solo artist, Max Baby is shaping a sound at the cross-

roads of post-modern indie, alternative rock, alt-electro-

nics and synthetic intimacy — nocturnal, physical, instinc-

tive, and unpolished by design.
