Maxwell Has seen the Rise
Though he has sky rocketed to the top of the charts on stations like: WBLK 93.7; Maxwell still remains that of a relaxed young man, who's fame does not rule his life.
In the countless interviews that I have seen, Maxwell was and still remains that of a deeply soulful, deeply though person.
He is laid back and casual...he has never let fame control him, for he controls his own destiny. As of present Maxwell has taken himself out of the imelight for what seems to be a typical rest-period...however, do not be surprised if there is another chart-topping album just around the corner!
