Biography
Born on January 1, 1992, in Lewisham, South East London, British grime MC and rapper Ian Koromah is better known by his stage name Maxsta. Growing up in East Ham, he attended Langdon School. While in school, he became heavily interested in music, learning to play guitar, piano, and cello. He started telling people his name was Maxwell, which evolved into his Maxsta nickname. At the age of 14, heavily inspired by the grime scene, he started rapping. Fellow rapper Godâs Gift was impressed enough to ask him to join his grime crew Mucky Wolfpack. Not long after, he chose to go solo, releasing his first track, 2009âs âEast London Is Backâ. The song received a lot of attention, airing on BBC1. Maxsta released his first mixtape â Maxtape â in 2010, which quickly sold out. After several physical assaults â including a stabbing â Maxsta reassessed his lyrical and musical approach. The first song to signify the new direction was 2011âs âAverage Kidâ. His popularity began to grow even more with the release of the 2012 singles âI Wanna Rockâ and âPop Offâ. His 2013 single âWanna Goâ (featuring Little Nikki) was his most successful single yet, reaching Number 46 on the singles chart. Maxsta has continued to release new tracks digitally, leading up to Maxtape 2, the sequel to his 2010 debut mixtape. In 2019, he issued the digital EP On the Buttons.
