About Me

CLICK NOW - TO ADD MY BAND
About Craig Maxim:
I am a singer/songwriter/musician (guitar and keyboard) originally from Jacksonville, Florida but now living in the Atlanta area. My professional music career, began at the age of 12 years old, when I was taken out of school to tour across the country in my mother's band for 6 years, first as a roadie and then as a performer.

F rom the age of 18 until now, I have performed as a solo act as well as formed several bands. I have performed across the country with audiences reaching the thousands. My largest audience was in Seoul, South Korea for nearly 10,000 people, in several performances, at the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts , Seoul's largest and most prestigious performing arts venue.

A bove all, I believe that music has the power to heal and open hearts and minds. It is a universal language, which is understood regardless of language barriers, through emotion and the vibration of pitch and tone. In fact, according to "String Theory" which may be like the holy grail of physics, uniting both Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, all matter at the sub atomic level, is actually made of "strings" that vibrate in differing ways to compose matter. In other words, all matter may be made of the same substance, but vibrates in different ways to produce the variations we see in matter. The universe itself, may in fact be, one giant and incredibly beautiful symphony.
Brief Description Of Songs:
TESTIFY
A song about a man who knows things should be taken to the next level. She's afraid. She's not being honest to her heart. He wants her to "Testify" to what he knows she feels inside.
AMERICA
A song written quite awhile ago, originally about the degradation of values in America, and a promise not to "Let the dream turn to dust", but slight changes in the lyrics, made the song a tribute to the American Spirit after 9-11. An encouraging song meant to bring us back to our roots. To remember what made this country great, and to keep the American Dream real and alive!
A MILLION WAYS
A soulful and sad ballad about a partner's insensitivity, and needing some comfort and understanding from that person.
HERE IN HEAVEN
A song I wrote, inspired I believe, by God, for a friend's funeral. He died far too young. No mother should have to outlive her son.
