Maxx Paradox Impresses With New Hit Single "Young and Wasted"

Maxx Paradox has recently unveiled a new hit single titled “Young and Wasted”, which shares its title with a forthcoming short film. This new single serves as the introduction to his debut project “Saved by Guitars”, which narrates the tale of how music transformed his life and addresses the various vices within the industry, including relationships with women, substance abuse, and the challenges of fame. His latest release, “Young and Wasted”, recently propelled to the top 50 iTunes U.S. charts and this is only the beginning for the talented artist.

Marco Ciro Pastore, known by his stage name Maxx Paradox, is a 100% Italian rising sensation in the music industry, emerging from the vibrant New York music scene. Influenced by his father and grandpa, who instilled in him a deep love for music from a young age, Maxx’s journey into singing and songwriting began at a tender age, fueled by an unwavering passion. His debut single marked a pivotal moment when he transitioned from college sports to wholeheartedly pursue his dream of making a mark in the music realm. 

Maxx’s distinctive sound effortlessly weaves elements of pop, rock, and hip-hop, creating a musical tapestry that resonates with authenticity. His compositions, laden with vulnerability and emotional richness, have earned him comparisons to acclaimed artists like Post Malone, Juice Wrld, and Lil Peep. Taking control of his artistic destiny, Maxx founded Maxx Volume Entertainment, establishing an in-house production team to curate his unique musical vision. 

Beyond his personal success, Maxx is actively shaping the future of the industry, passionately discovering and nurturing emerging talents. His dedication is unwavering, with a singular goal – to etch his name among the greatest artists of his generation. 

Maxx Paradox is not just an artist; he is a force, a testament to the power of musical passion and unyielding determination.
