Originally from Sacramento, California, Maximillian De Beni-Kallweit, known as Max, is a former athlete with a passion for broadcasting, music, and creative storytelling. Initially aspiring to become a sports broadcaster, Max discovered his love for radio and music while attending Cosumnes River College. After taking a radio course, he began hosting his own show on the college station, using the platform to spotlight local musicians and share the artists he believed deserved a wider audience. He also began filming music videos for local musicians to help finance his college education.

Max later transferred to UNLV, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communications with a minor in film in 2022. A longtime fan of '90s R&B and hip-hop, he eventually developed an appreciation for jazz, expanding his musical horizons and discovering new sounds to share with listeners.

His musical influences include Michael Jackson, R. Kelly, Tank, Boney James, and Musiq Soulchild, among others. In broadcasting, Max draws inspiration from Doug Banks, Jim Rome, and Howard Stern, whose distinctive styles have influenced his approach to connecting with audiences.

Whether he’s behind the microphone sharing great music or bringing positive energy to the airwaves, Max is passionate about creating an engaging listening experience. Outside the studio, he enjoys movie hopping, sneaker shopping, and staying fit at the gym, where he channels his inner Arnold Schwarzenegger.
