The scenic settings of Taos, New Mexico, are where acclaimed American singer-songwriter and musician Max Gomez finds his creative home. He has been compared to legends like Jackson Browne and John Prine for his skillful blending of Americana and folk music, which he uses to craft melodies and stories that have a lasting emotional impact on listeners.

Gomez's varied ethnicity—his mother had Scottish and Irish lineage and his father was of Portuguese and Spanish descent—had a significant impact on his upbringing. He acquired his love of the outdoors while growing up in the highlands of northern New Mexico, where he spent his formative years engaged in fly fishing and mountain expeditions, as well as the plains of Kansas, where his family owns a farm. Gomez moved to Los Angeles at the age of 18, where he started his musical career, as a result of his love of music.

In his home state of New Mexico, Gomez co-founded and curates the Red River Folk Festival while still in his twenties and with only two CDs to his name. This yearly event further demonstrates Gomez's commitment to promoting the folk music community by showcasing a wide range of talent, including performers like Jim Lauderdale, The Secret Sisters, and James McMurtry.

Early influences on Gomez's music were based in the country and blues sounds of luminaries like Big Bill Broonzy and Johnny Cash. His early musical zeal led to appearances at small venues across New Mexico. A pivotal moment occurred when Grammy Award nominee Shawn Mullins stumbled across Gomez's music on Myspace. This led to a successful relationship that included songwriting together and touring the country. His collaboration with Mullins and distinctive sound helped him land a record deal with Nashville's New West Records.

His debut album "Rule The World" gained popularity, and Esquire named the title tune as one of the top 10 "Best New Songs" of all time..
