The first song Max recorded was a novelty [comedy] song titled “Lolang Kunot” released by the Vicor Music Corporation. At first he was not interested in singing novelty songs because
he was a ballad singer. But his curiousity about recording prevailed. So he decided to record “Lolang Kunot” and it became
a big hit in just one week after it was released. Another one of Max’s hit songs is “Ang Manok ni
San Pedro”(St. Peter’s Rooster). It is about a man named Esteban who was murdered by goons. His soul went up to heaven where he met St. Peter at the pearly gates. St. Peter was wondering why Esteban was there and realized that a mistake had been made. St. Peters records showed that it wasn’t Esteban’s time yet. So St. Peter told him to go back to earth. And, as a parting gift, he gave Esteban a white rooster. When he came back to life, Esteban and his white rooster always won in cock fighting tournaments.
This song became so popular that the story of Esteban ended up being made into a hit comedy TV series with the same title. From that time on, Max was very busy recording and began to make a name for himself in the music industry.
He has travelled to countries like Norway and Austria. His recording career continues to flourish until this day. He composes and writes his own songs and, at the time of this writing, has made 33 albums.
