Max lives with his mother and sister in Berlin.[4] Max was part of a band called Empty Trash with his friend Stefan, who was the guitarist, and Julius, who was the played bass.[1][5] Max's father is Carl Carlton.[5] He lived in a boarding school in Ireland until 2006.[6]
DSDS
Max auditioned for DSDS because he lost a bet.[1] Max decided to leave the show after failing in an attempt to get his band, Empty Trash, included in the recording contract if he had won.[1] Viewers had wondered about judge Dieter Bohlen's uncharacteristic behaviour when he gave an extremely critical review of Buskohl's performance on April 21. Buskohl is alleged to have said that Bohlen was asocial, which explains Bohlen's negative reaction. However, RTL stated that "We have made it clear that we are not looking for super-band, but a superstar".[1] Max decided to leave the show the Thursday prior to Top 4.[7] He participated in the Top 4 at RTL's request.[7] Dieter Bohlen stated that "You may not give a shit what I say, so I do not give a damn what you're singing" during the Top 4.[7] Martin Stosch, who was originally was supposed to be eliminated, replace Max in the show.[7][8] Max was considered a hearthrob on the show with his "super-slim" body and being 1.95 m (6 ft 5 in) tall.[4]
