Known also as Luna 9 and the integral part of the famous KayaKata trio, Maxime Machaidze is a Georgian hip-hop artist, electronic music producer, beatmaker, activist, and fashion designer. A son of a renowned musician and filmmaker Nika Machaidze, Max dropped out of high school in the 9th grade, to pursue his passion for music - a decision which has, arguably, paid off.

However, Machaidze-junior’s devotion to creativity didn’t stop there. Remarkably productive for his young age, Max has been responsible for the establishment of the street fashion brand LTFR, a clothing/jewelery brand Sadaawhere?, and several artworks and installations, including the interactive “Windows Project” exhibition.
