Music Producer since 2013. 
From 2024 Part of Aquila Project X.

Founder of Fundamental Beats, Max "Fundamental" Shapiro is a Toronto based music producer who has been encircling a wide range of sounds for nearly a decade. Since graduating from the Toronto Film School's Sound Engineering program, Fundamental has developed an artistic career collaborating with acts like A$AP Mob,  Fu-Schnickens, Ghetto Concept and Point Blank. Additionally, he has worked in commercial advertising where he designed sound branding for companies that included Bosley Real Estate and Roger's Promotions. Fundamental made appearances and completed music production for a number of Bell Media projects. Fundamental is a recognized philanthropist due to his development of a recording studio that helped in the rehabilitation of disenfranchised individuals.

His production style drew its influence from the raw samples of Dj Premier, Young Guru and Havoc; the fat melodic strings of Scott Storch and the dirty percussion of The Neptunes. Stimulated by nasty drops and the chest pounding vintage synths of Chase & Status and Dj Hype, Fundamental crafted his original style. He blended the sounds of Hip-Hop, Goon-step and Trap-House to spawn his unique production.

Through collaboration with music industry professionals, The Inner City Family Health Team and the City of Toronto, Fundamental has developed a life skills program within this recording studio that uses arts guided processes in a clinical setting. The program allowed disenfranchised individuals access to industry professionals and production equipment, that otherwise wouldn’t be accessible, as a creative way to empower themselves through their love of music.

In a rapidly changing industry, his innovative approach to music production and community development continually drives Fundamental to break new ground making him a well-received music producer. Invest your craft into someone you can trust and you will hear the difference.
