Max Graham is a Canadian DJ, composer and producer who manages to transcend genres while producing international hits in the dance music scene. He is most famous for mixing Transport #4, playing sets at Atomic nightclub in Ottawa and remixing the classic song “Owner of a Lonely Heart” by Yes. Graham runs Shine Music and Re*Brand Records, he currently resides in Montreal.

Graham was born in London, England and lived in Spain, New York City and Los Angeles before settling in Ottawa in 1989. At age 15 in 1986, he began as a hip-hop and scratch DJ before discovering and falling in love with the house music scene between 1992 and 1994. Max was also instrumental in the creation of the famous Atomic club in Ottawa, and his weekly 6 hour sets at Atomic are the stuff of legend among fans. Max exploded onto the producing scene with the releases of “Airtight” and “Tell You,” both of which became international hits. Airtight was nominated for a Juno Award in 2001. This success got some attention from the world dance music scene and Graham was asked to mix Transport CD #4, which was also met with huge success, and spurred a world tour in 2001. This rapid rise in attention led Graham to be voted into spot number 23 on DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs list, the highest entry for a newcomer in 2001. His distinctive style remains difficult to pin down, covering genres like house, progressive, techno, disco, and trance to name just some. During a Graham performance, a collection of different sounds can be heard in every aspect of the tracks being played: the bass, rhythms, and melodies constantly change and energize the audience and dancers at Graham’s sets.

Graham spent his first years in Hampstead Heath, London with his Mother and Two siblings. At the age of eight Graham and his mother moved to Spain and settled in a small town called Mijas in the Costa Del Sol. It was here in the local public school that Graham learned to speak Spanish fluently. After two years the decision was made to switch custody from mother to father and Graham moved from Spain to the United States and attend school in New York City.

In 2009 Graham moved to Toronto and began work on opening I-Technique, an Apple service provider and reseller in Midtown. He did this with his old friend from Ottawa Brad Copeland, The shop opened May 2009 and both of them can be found there daily. 2097 Yonge St just below Eglinton.
