Max resided in the United States until he relocated to Singapore in 2006. He relocated in part to rediscover his Asian roots, and to be closer to his family in Malaysia. As an MTV VJ and an actor, he went on to become a popular television personality in South East Asia.

Traveling and trying things at least once was a philosophy well rewarded when he landed a job in Asia in 2006 as MTV Southeast Asia’s new VJ. He hosted the award-winning multimedia show "MTV Mobbed" which was broadcast all over the Asia Pacific Region. He also kept his other interests alive during his tenure by hosting Gamepad (gameshow), Pop 10 (chartshow), Pop Inc. (life-style show) and red carpet coverage of the MTV Asia Awards 2006 in Bangkok (Thailand).

In 2004 he trained at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in Los Angeles, where he discovered his passion for acting. His fellow students and teachers cast him in independent movies such as The Intervention or Syndicate:Zeed.

In 2003 he has acted in leading roles on the big screen in Swiss movies such as in “Piff Paff Puff”, a movie about gangsters with different racial backgrounds, playing the role of a drug addict.

When he was three, Max moved to Switzerland. Shortly after graduating Kantonsschule Hottingen with a degree in economics in 2000, he got in contact with VIVA Schweiz, at this time Switzerland's top ranking music channel. This was eventually where he landed his first on-screen job as a TV host.
