As the creator of his record label TL Records, Maxwell has signed 6 artists and grossed over 2.5 million total streams in 2021. Despite not releasing any music since July, LeVan has maintained over 5,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, and some of his artists, such as Nate McKenzie, boast nearly 20,000 monthly listeners as of October 2021.

Maxwell LeVan: From SoundCloud to Platinum
Maxwell LeVan has made a name for himself as a record producer, vocalist, and songwriter. Maxwell grew up playing piano, but never took lessons or figured out how to read music. "I would hear a song on the radio and when I got home I was able to play it", he said. Maxwell has perfect pitch, an uncommon capacity of an individual to recognize or re-make a given musical note without the advantage of a reference tone. This occurs in only around 1 percent of artists. "It's weird, I don't understand the notes on paper, but when I hear them out loud it's like knowing red from blue." LeVan started autonomously studying music theory in April 2020, in an effort to further his knowledge of the technical aspect of composing a record.
