Maximiano Janairo, a Milwaukee-based singer-songwriter, has carved out a unique niche in the music scene with their soulful blend of heritage, identity, and raw human experience. Their debut album, “The Real Truth,” explores themes of growth and change, with songs that shimmer, echo, and glide through tales of memory and identity. The album features a variety of sounds, including piano, pedal steel, flute, and clarinet, and is supported by an all-star band of Milwaukee musicians. Maximiano’s music is described as lush, courageous, and ambitious, with a sound that captures the beauty of newfound wisdom. They are known for their willingness to write songs out of necessity, providing companionship for feelings that are too difficult or embarrassing to express. Maximiano’s artistic journey has been shaped by their parents and their deep connection to their family’s ancestry, and they embrace their identity as a mixed-race, non-binary, queer artist.
