Max Foxx was born and raised in a small town in Southern Sweden. His first intro to music was at the age of seven, when he began playing on a piano. He took one piano lesson, which he did not enjoy as he found the music book to be dull. Never returning to take piano lessons, Max Foxx began playing his own stuff, which his parents often thought of as being too loud and raucous. When Max turned 14, he bought his first guitar, a Hagstrom III electric guitar. Max Foxx then replaced his Hagstrom III a few years later with a natural wood finish Fender Stratocaster, which to this day is still his favorite electric guitar model. It was on this guitar that, only a year later, Max composed the basic chords of Grovy Lane. However, after the chords were composed, they were left dormant for decades until a jam session Max had with Nicky Renard in October 2016.
Born in December, 2001, Nicky Renard’s family moved around a lot across several continents, never settling in one place for long. Florida, being her favorite, she hung out with a bunch of boys and listened to their music of choice. Nicky became hooked on rock ’n’ roll and, although she played no instrument at the time, vowed on becoming a rockstar someday. On her 10th birthday, Nicky received a Yamaha 3/4 acoustic guitar and, after only learning two chords, began composing her own songs. Apart from a few guitar lessons in middle school, Nicky is a self-taught guitarist. Nicky dedicated herself to practicing on her own and composing songs herself.
Nicky composed some additional parts and the solo to Max’s decade-old chord progression of Grovy Lane. It was first when Max Foxx had Grovy Lane and some other good material under his belt that he finally decided to pursue a career in music. Max and Nicky are a talented duo that just released their debut single, Grovy Lane.
