Max Crouch is a rising star in the Australian music scene. A gifted vocalist and guitarist, Max began singing at age 10 and taught himself guitar during the 2020 lockdown while recovering from a bizarre knee injury.

Now in Year 10 at Haileybury College, he performs in the school jazz band, senior choir, and recently starred as Pepper in Mamma Mia. With over 40,000 Instagram followers (@maxcrouch_music) and viral videos reaching millions, Max’s soulful interpretations span artists from Fleetwood Mac to Frank Ocean.

Performing with his brother Hank (on Cajon), the duo are regulars at markets, festivals and community events across Victoria, raising over $13,000 for charity through busking. In 2025, Max wowed audiences at Futuration at The Palms, Crown, earning national media attention. With original compositions on the way and a deepening style that blends modern country, soul, and pop, Max is one to watch.
