They chose us because we are perfect for this and this is our real life. Max Lux: Oh yeah! They actually had to turn it down a bit because they couldn’t show the real reality of it.
#LOVE HIP HOP HOLLYWOOD MAX TV#
What we see on TV is this what your actual day to day basis is like? Rena Marie: People often times talk about how reality shows like Love & Hip Hop is fake and phony. We knew everybody on there and they know us. It’s cool to be a part of Hollywood history. Max Lux: It’s cool to be a part of it, it is a very big franchise and very well respected. What made you guys decide to join the show? First off let me congratulate you and your wife Brandi for being casts on the show. Rena Marie: Let’s talk a little bit about Love & Hip Hop Hollywood. There is a hundred thousand people in the studio right now in the city. Otherwise, you know there are a lot of talented people out there. So if you are a difficult artist you better be very talented and well represented, your music better be the dopest. Max Lux: This is what I will say, in the game nowadays people don’t deal with difficult artists because one of the main job of an artist is to be a people’s person. Do you have any words of advice for anyone in that position? Some may come across an artist that can be difficult at times. Rena Marie: I know that you are inspiration to aspiring writers and producers.

I get out everyday working with artists making records from rap, hip hop, R&B, pop, everything. I am an active songwriter signed with Warner Chapel and BMI. Max Lux: I am currently working with every artist. Rena Marie: Are you currently working with other artists? Max Lux: Yeah, this song is his 2nd biggest hit in his catalog right now. Rena Marie: This particular song wasn’t like his usual sound, but this was definitely was one of his biggest songs. Max Lux: “How To Love” actually came about with me and Drummah Boyz, and another producer name Detail placed it with him (Lil Wayne). Rena Marie: How did the record “How To Love” come about with you and Lil Wayne? When he walked into the room grown men were smiling like little kids.Īfter chatting a bit about Stevie Wonder I switched things up to talk about writing one of Lil Wayne’s hit single “How To Love” off of the Carter IV album.

Max Lux: He turned a room full of thugs into groupies! No lie, every one of us were Stevie Wonder groupies. Can you tell me your experience working with Stevie Wonder in the studio? Rena Marie: Wow! I wonder how it was working side by side with Stevie Wonder. He came in the studio and he played the Harmonica on it, you know like 4 o’clock in the morning, like me just working hard. Max Lux: Yes! I wrote a song for Stevie Wonder before going on the Presidential Tour.The song is call “Love Is Blind”. Rena Marie: I’ve heard that you have wrote a song for the legendary Stevie Wonder, is that true? I have been a ghost writer for other artists, but I won’t drop any names. Rena Marie: Who was the first major artist you wrote for?

Max Lux: I would say my top 5 is Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Tupac, Erykah Badu….it’s hard to pick a top five when I am influenced by many such as Goodie Mobb, OutKast, The Loonies. Rena Marie: Everybody got a least a top 5 that influenced them. I listen to all type of genres…I listen to a little bit of rap, a whole lot of R&B, rock and roll, I mean a lot. Max Lux: There are so many great people in this music history man….I wouldn’t know where to begin, like I am influenced by all type of music. Rena Marie: Who are some of your musical influences? You know, I make music for the homies to turn up. I make music to take it back to the streets. Max Lux: I was in the streets, but I don’t make music to escape from it.

Is this the same for you, were you ever involved in gangs, or used music as an outlet to shade you from whatever you may try to escape? Some people would say that they use music to escape gang banging or the street life.

My uncle was a producer and he was teaching me how to produce as I was writing. Max Lux: I started off as a writer and I was learning how to produce while I was writing, if that make sense. Rena Marie: Did you started off as a producer or did you started writing first? Max Lux: Music for me is like an avenue for me to do something positive you know Rena Marie: What drove you into making music and writing? Max Lux: My name is Max Lux and I am from Los Angeles, California born and raised Rena Marie: For those who may not know tell us who you are and where you are from?
