Hailing from the south Cologne border line, Max Goedecke is not the sweetheart and lullaby singer you might expect: woke up with an ill-defined longing to break free and to see the world after graduating, Max grabbed his dusty guitar and started doing street music all around Europe while selling his self-made debut album Newspeak from his rucksack. Traveling from Lisbon’s Alfama terraces to the backstreets of Rome’s Lido Di Ostia up to the marketplaces in London, West Ealing, Max missed not a single opportunity to broaden his view in the turbulent time of the Corona pandemic. He captured all his street performances on his Instagram account tas_phania and grew a loyal fanbase there. Now – after years of music exploration – Max will release his first singer-songwriter record “Broke, but happy (at Lake Success)” in autumn 2024, which he did completely produce by himself to achieve a self-portrait. Influenced by artists like Neil Young, Nick Drake and Bob Dylan, the introducing single “Dear Brave New World” will see the light of the world on the 26th of October 2023.
