Creative License: Episode 4 - Maxie Cheer

January 15, 2024 • Lina Adams • Season 1 • Episode 4

Hello! I’m Lina Adams, and welcome to the fourth episode of Creative License: Inside the Worlds of Rising Artists. In this episode, I chat to North London-based professional drummer, musical director and mentor Maxie Cheer, about touring with Bimini and Kate Nash, the new EP from Just Kids, and being a Roland Artist. We also nerd out on drum gear and discuss what it means to ‘be where you are’.

Maxie has also collaborated with artists such as Poppy Ajudha and with the BBC. Alongside their session musician projects, Maxie and Rachel Still’s nostalgic indie pop band, Just Kids, has been described by Clash as “brooding DIY pop … an integral part of the London underground.”
