You and I (Demo)

I wrote this song about manifesting self-love before giving a piece of that love to someone important.  This song is about somebody who wants so badly to fall in love and who desperately seeks a significant other to give their love to, that they forget about giving themself some love.  I strongly believe self-love is so important no matter who you are, what you do, and whom you choose to pass your love along to.  You can only give your full heart to someone when you know your own inner love.  Self-love isn’t a huge ego, vanity or arrogance.  It’s an inner peace that comes from being okay with who you are no matter your mistakes and forgiving yourself.  So to everyone out there looking to fall in love, slow it down because you must create your own love from within before you can pass it on to someone special.

My name is Max. I'm a pianist/composer based in Los Angeles, CA. You can check my material out on this page and on YouTube and Facebook(links below). 

For a complete resume: See Linkedin Account.

BIO: Max Bergmanis is a junior at the Thornton School of Music working towards a BM in Jazz Studies. He began playing piano when he was just three years old. At five, he joined the Yamaha School of Music in Honolulu, Hawaii. There, he spent eight years studying under the instruction of Satoko Nagai, learning both piano and composition. During this period, Max was twice chosen, out of a national pool of applicants, to perform his original compositions at the Yamaha Young Musicians Concert, a showcase for some of the Yamaha Music system's brightest talent. 

Max then went on to study classical piano for five years under the instruction of Helen Chao-Casano at Punahou School. There, he took weekly lessons and performed in monthly student recitals. He also spent two years studying voice and composition, the former with Cathy Goto and the latter with esteemed Juilliard alumnus, Dr. Jon Magnussen. Through Magnussen’s connections, Max was able to work with and subsequently have one of his pieces performed by the Ethel String Quartet of New York, a forward-thinking group who have toured across the globe. It was during his time at Punahou School where Max first became interested in jazz as well, playing keyboards in the school's jazz band and winning the Louis Armstrong Jazz Award in his senior year. 

Following his high school graduation, Max went on to study at the Thornton School of Music, where he remains today. As a junior jazz piano major, Max has already gotten to study with such luminaries as Bob Mintzer, Alan Pasqua, Russell Ferrante, Jason Goldman, Otmaro Ruiz, Aaron Serfaty, and Ron McCurdy. He has also taken classes from top singer-songwriters, Andrea Stolpe and David Poe as well as producer, Charles Guiterrez. 

Max is currently writing music of all genres and honing his jazz piano technique.
