My name is Max MacVeety. I play drums for the Oakland; Ca based Hip-hop crew Crown City Rockers.
I’ve always loved music. I started playing drums at age three. I’ve been playing, sitting-in, gigging, touring, studying, and teaching most of my life.
I’ve been blessed to have grown-up in a musical family. My father is a passionate musician (vocalist/guitarist) who is in it for life. His father (mygrandfather) is a tenor sax player who, at age 80, plays big band jazz in Florida. My great-great-great grandfather was a concert violinist from Prague Czechoslovakia. (He moved to Iowa in the 1800’s to teach music at the University of Iowa.)
I’m just carrying on the tradition.
I love all kinds of music, but really when it comes down to it Hip-hop music hits me in a place that no other music hits me. I feel very fortunate to be in a Hip-hop group and be able to play the one instrument that has been my life-long passion and inspiration. I hope you feel that when you come to a show…
