Since 2018, Maxx Nies has been putting her music out into the ether hoping that her art will land in the hands of those who may need it. Signed with Connection Music Publishing, a subsidiary of Glassnote Records, her single “Give Me a Reason” has been shaped by her own personal experiences accompanied by musical landscapes that reflect those very moments.
Childhood trauma, or any trauma that remains unresolved stays trapped inside the body and manifests into coping mechanisms that are detrimental and difficult to steer clear from. This can lead to addiction, struggles with mental health, and lack of trust and stability in relationships. But when faced with understanding, processing, and acceptance – there is a “shift” that occurs.
Fans of Taylor Swift, Poe, Billie Eilish, and BANKS are sure to find solace in Nies’ single, alongside her last album release from 2024 titled “Daddy’s Issues.” The complimentary brooding yet spacious soundscape is matched with hints of maturity in her voice, even during one of her lowest moments. Maxx Nies’ intentionality through emotional storytelling and overall resilience through her life is admirable.
Maxx Nies has turned all of her energy into her craft while stepping away from her other passion, horseback riding. To Nies, the act of writing songs is monumental to her healing journey. Healing does not happen overnight, but her song “Give Me a Reason” sits as a vital force that documents a raw and unabridged feeling that is oftentimes difficult to admit. Nies’ bravery in expression stands tall amongst the overall pop landscape of today’s music.
