In February, Max announced the title of his first album on Twitter, titled MOTHER.

After his first album, Max released four more singles in 2021. Starting in June with “gladesong” with blackwinterwells and 8485. Another collaboration with blackwinterwells and mason infinity titled “poltergeist” was also released. The year was finished off with an extended version of “POWER POLE” with REY GWEN on vocals and a new production from Astro. In early 2022 Max released the single “TRIX” with sevendsr and a cover of eric doa’s “plea.”

In January, Max and mason infinity established creative agency LUCKY DOG WAREHOUSE. He released his first single under the agency with “twofaced.” He also produced REY GWEN’s song “STATIC ELECTRICITY” for the short film CLICKER.

On July 29, 2022, Max announced his second album Whatever Makes You Happy which was slated to release in September. The album featured tracks with artists REY GWEN, Klovyn, EB, and blackwinterwells. On August 19th, Max released the first single, “Self Care,” which was also his first music video. After delaying the album, the second single, “Get Over It” featuring REY GWEN was released. The whole album was executive produced by Max and mason infinity who finished off the year with a collaboration track, “Turn For The Worse.”
