About Max

Max Bartos is a Folk and Americana singer/songwriter whose music blends introspective lyricism with anthemic folk-rock energy. As the frontman of his band Max Bartos & The Misfit Toys, he creates songs rooted in storytelling, emotional honesty, and a modern acoustic-driven sound influenced by Mumford & Sons and Noah Kahan.

His debut album, Memento Mori (2023), introduced Bartos as a reflective, narrative-focused writer, exploring themes of mortality, resilience, and personal reckoning. The 2024 single Diamond In The Rough marked a refined sonic direction, while his latest release, Waiting At The Crossroads (2025) captures a defining moment in his artistic evolution—expanding his folk and Americana foundation with richer dynamics and a clearer sense of identity.

With early theatrical roots, including work with Sing Street on Broadway, Bartos brings a natural sense of pacing and presence to both recordings and live performances. Fresh off a 30-date U.S. tour with The Misfit Toys, he has further solidified his reputation as a compelling live act. Recently signed with Noble Steed Music, Max Bartos continues to build momentum through intentional songwriting, immersive performances, and a growing body of work connecting deeply with listeners.
