Maxwell Rincón is undeniably an artist. Toeing the line between modernity and tradition is no easy feat, yet through his familiar melodies and brutally honest story telling, Rincón walks it with ease. In his rookie 2024 year, his brief catalog has set a high bar for songwriters and storytellers alike.

His work, which echos a yearning for his own potential while lamenting forgotten love, represents the imperfect, yet beautiful dichotomy of the human experience. He has something to say. And I’m here to listen.
