His father was a cellist, and his mother a pianist. Both of his grandfathers, as well as two of his aunts, made a living with classical music.
When Max was three years old, his mother decided to teach him the secret of "getting some civilized noise" out of a huge thing called - of all things - a grand piano. Up to this point, young Max had shown a remarkable ability to create noise with common kitchen utensils. Even at this young age, it was clear that Max would somehow end up a musician.
Max was six when his parents found a teacher who successfully taught him the basics of being a drummer. When Max's dad convinced the child's grandfather to craft a small cello for him, disappointment followed - Max really wanted to be a (classical?) percussionist. The strings just didn't cut it - and to this day, he's quite sure his dad never forgave him for that.
In 1971, he started his study at the Academy of Music in Hilversum, with percussion his primary study, and piano a secondary. However, he soon felt trapped by everything classical - in his own words, Max says "there were too many rules and restrictions. But that was just my opinion at that time." The young musician simply wanted total freedom, with no established boundaries to constrain his budding creativity. Soon, Max was creating his own style.
In 1972 Pim Koopman and Ton Scherpenzeel, both students at the same school, were interested in starting a band - but they lacked a singer. When asked to try, Max had some second thoughts, but finally gave in and decided to try it out. Just for fun, that's all. The style of music appealed to Max, and it seemed like a good thing to do to pass the time.
Little did he know then that it would be, as he puts it, "a point of no return."
Max Werner became lead singer, drummer and percussionist of the Dutch Progressive Rock band Kayak. Other members were keyboardist Ton Scherpenzeel, guitarist Johan Slager and drummer Pim Koopman.
He sang lead vocals (and played mellotron) on the first 5 Kayak albums, later switching to drums until the band split up in 1982. In 1999, he returned as singer for the Kayak album "Close To The Fire". After a short tour 2000, he had to leave again due to health problems.
Max Werner recorded 4 solo albums. In may 1981, he scored a big hit in Holland (reaching #3) and Germany (#1), with his solo-single "Rain In May".

on Like an Autumnleaf
When you came to me on an autumn morning
Like an autumn leaf
You just stayed with me without sign without warning
Like an autum leaf
And you came from far on the windward Island
Like an autum leaf
You were looking good but you were wrapped in silence
Like an autum leaf
And the world has found
But we hardly see
And its hurting round
But we hardly see
She looks like an autumn leaf
Wind is gonna change us
Loosely like an autumn leaf
Nature rearranges
The autumn wind is blowing
All the leaves away ya...
Leave me like an autumn leaf
When you are all a stranger
Autumn leaf just changes
When the changes came without sign without warning,
Like an autumn leaf
You just left again on an Autumn morning
Like an autumn leaf
And the world has found,
But we hardly see
And its hurling around
But we hardly see
She looks like an autumn leaf
Wind is gonna change us
Loosely like an autumn leaf
Nature rearranges
The autumn wind is blowing
All the leaves away yay yay yay yeh ...
She moves like an autumn leaf,
Wind is gonna change us
Loosely like an autumn leaf
Nature rearranges
The autumn wind is blowing
All the leaves away ya ...
Leave me like an autumn leaf
When you are all a stranger
Autumn leafs just changes
