Maxwell has always looked to explore how music can cross genres and expectations, manifesting in his own music as well as culminating with his developing the groundbreaking, and ever evolving, Creative Musical Arts & Sciences (CMAS) program, at Arcadia High School, in Phoenix, Arizona – a fully open creative platform and record label run by students, all creating and producing their own music, that is endorsed by a who’s-who of music education and industry professionals.
