Maxwell Rivera (born in Brooklyn, New York on May 23, 1973) is an American R&B artist who professionally goes by the name Maxwell. He played an important role in the development of the subgenre of neo-soul music.
Born of Puerto Rican and West Indian heritage. Maxwell lost his father in a plane crash when he was just three years old. The experience influenced his strong religious background, and he started singing in his Baptist church. Still, he didn't really become serious about music until age 17, when he began writing his own songs using a cheap Casio keyboard given to him by a friend. Initially influenced by early-'80s urban R&B, he progressed rapidly, and by 1991 he was performing on the New York club scene. . After making a name for himself, he signed a recording contract with Columbia in 1994.
