Born Keith Palmer in Peterborough in 1967, Maxim is best known as the charismatic MC of the pioneering electronic music group The Prodigy. Joining the band in 1990, his deep, commanding voice and dynamic stage presence became a key part of their explosive live performances and international success, with hits like Firestarter and Breathe defining 1990s rave culture. Beyond music, Maxim is also a visual artist, creating striking, mixed-media works that have been exhibited in galleries across the UK and abroad.
