Maxwell Wright

Hey there! I'm Max, an entertainment industry enthusiast, I was raised in Spain and hold both French and North American nationalities.

Here'a little more about me: I grew up in Formentera, in the Balearic Island in Spain, and after high school I studied Dramatic Arts and Music at the BRIT School of Performing Arts in London, UK, and later continued with Contemporary Theatre and Music at Dartington College of Arts in Devon, also
in the UK. After my studies, I decided to build my professional career in the vibrant music scene of Barcelona, Spain, where I became part of several bands, both locally and internationally.

For over a decade, I had the amazing opportunity to tour the world, performing at some of the most legendary festivals and venues—places like Glastonbury, the Sydney Opera House, New York’s Central Park, the River Plate stadium, and the North Sea Jazz Festival, just to name a few. I was a permanent member of 'Ojos de Brujo' a group that won multiple awards, including a Latin Grammy in 2008 and a second nomination in 2011. Along the way, I also collaborated with artists like Nitin Sawhney and bands such as 'Imam Baildi' from Greece, '08001', and 'Nubla' from Spain, and toured with *Asian Dub Foundation' from London and 'Okou' from Paris-Berlin. Beyond performing, I’ve led musical workshops and have spoken at conferences around the world.

In recent years, I launched 'Royal Sonora', a platform dedicated to original music production for TV, film soundtracks, and artist curation for live events, among other services. Some of our clients include Sony PlayStation, WWF, and MotoGP.

In 2014 I earned a Master’s in Music Business and Global Entertainment from Berklee College of Music in Valencia, where I later worked for over a decade as a workshop planner, event producer, and as a career advisor, helping students navigate their way into the professional music industry. While a student at Berklee, I co-founded and creatively directed TEDxBerkleeValencia for four years as part of my thesis, and founded the Formentera Jazz Festival and the Menorca Groove Festival, both of which are still happening in Spain’s Balearic Islands.
