VI.BE

Maxi! is the musical project of Belgian singer and performer Maxime Dreesen. Under the name f-art pop, Maxi! moves between stripped-back ballads, dance tracks, cabaret and electronic music. Desire, grief, shame and pleasure run through the songs, with room for both absurd humour and vulnerability.

Created in close collaboration with musician and producer Benne Dousselaere, debut album ANALBUM brings these different sides together across eight tracks. Singles ‘Just Shit’ and ‘Toodeloo’ sit alongside the breakup song ‘Eagle’, the guitar-led ‘Fart Heart’ and the dancefloor-oriented ‘Darkroom’.

Drawing on a background in theatre and performance, Dreesen brings a strong physical presence to the stage. Voice, movement and an outspoken sense of humour are central to Maxi!’s live performances.
