Max Muscato (born April 10th, 1990) is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer. He was born in Washington D.C., and raised in Buffalo, NY. Originally Max aspired to be a physician, but while attending the University at Buffalo he found himself spending the majority of his time writing music rather than studying. After graduating in 2012, Max traveled to Florida to work as a personal trainer at PGA National, where he trained professionals on the PGA Tour. Music never left him, however, it was his true calling and he decided to follow it. As Max's network broadened, he began playing more well-known venues around the greater Buffalo. After being nominated as one of Buffalo's best Guitarist and Singer-Songwriters, he began touring around the country. July 1st, 2017 was the release of his debut album Act One, which can be found on all streaming platforms. In 2018, Max decided to go a different direction in his life by creating Rock Autism Music Festival. Sonny Muscato, Max's older brother and the inspiration of Rock Autism, was diagnosed with Autism at a young age and slipped through the cracks of a broken system (at the time). After sitting on the sidelines for 20 years, Max and his father decided enough is enough, which spawned the birth of Rock Autism. Rock Autism is an approved 501c3 through NYS, and it aims to create a brighter future for individuals with Autism in music, film, photography, art, video game production and 2D/3D character animation.Their organization is one of the first of it's kind throughout the country. As Founder and President, Max has decided to dedicate his life to helping others through the power of music. Rock Autism has partnerships with the following organizations: Oishei Children's Hospital, People Inc., Summit Services, Autism Services and Squeky Wheel. Rock Autism Music Festival is held in Ellicottville, NY - labor day weekend.
