Maxence

Born in Nîmes (Gard) on March 2, 1995, Maxence Lapérouse first gained recognition under the stage names Maxenss and then Maxence. After posting his first music and comedy videos online, he released two EPs with the metal band Fysh in 2013 and 2015. His meeting with rapper Seb la Frite led to a collaboration on videos, followed by his appearance in 2017 on the show La France a un incroyable talent, where he performed an offbeat version of Adele’s hit, “Hello, ” followed by a collaboration with influencer Squeezie on the book Tourne la page and a series of videos. He is part of the rap trio VSO, which released the EP Southcoaster (2017), and adopted the pseudonym Maxenss—his comedic alter ego in his social media posts—while the singer Maxence recorded the EP @ (2019), a seven-track album expanded to eleven tracks upon its re-release as @+. This shift from rap to pop was further cemented with the album Tout Est Trop Beau (2021) and its single “Parfum d’été, ” followed in 2024 by Comme un Enfant, featuring guest appearances by Julien Doré and Lisa Pariente. In 2025, he unveiled a new musical identity, focused on songwriting, with the track “Baskets, ” followed by piano versions of “La Lune à 3 h du mat” and “Poids-lourd.” In June 2026, he released the track “Trente ans déjà, ” which opens the six-track EP *Déjà*.
