I am Max NJW (or just Max W for short)
you can find me most places online if you look hard enough

I started making experimental music because I needed soundtracks for my minecraft horror maps, now I make pop records, though I did not grow out of noise.
My name is Max NJW, I am 21 years old, I am from Ulster County, New York. I have released Six albums as Clementine's Private Army playing guitar and
whatever else I could get my hands on, plus dozens of records under other names. My musical history is in the isolated arts (what a pretentious way to say bedroom pop!)
my musical (and ultimate) future is in the collective.
