Maxim attended the University of Cologne for Business Administration. He then later dropped out to go to an SAE Institute (an international media education provider) to become a sound engineer, a decision he says he later regretted when money dried up in the artistic field. Maxim dropped out of the SAE Institute after a semester, finding the work to be boring and too easy. He refers to himself as "self-taught" and says that "his first day of school was also his last."[1] During times that he could not find money or work in music, his parents often helped pay bills or house him for whatever time was necessary. He is a private man and does not like to talk about himself or his early life.
After his various schooling endeavors, Maxim produced a semi-professional tape with Bonner Nosliw, who already had established a reputation for himself on the German music scene. He also took Maxim as a background singer on tour. Maxim calls this time "like an internship. [He found it] interesting and it helped [him] a lot." This time later shaped a lot of Maxim's musical preferences and served as an inspiration for his future work.
