About Maxim Pereira:
Maxim Pereira Angelore, popularly known to his fans as “Baila Boom Maxim” because of his famous audio cassette “Baila Boom”, was born in Angelore, a place known as the ‘cradle of talents’ in Mangaluru.
Maxim is married to Nisha and together they have a daughter named Abigail.
“Do you like to achieve anything? Do it and achieve it right in your youth,” believes Maxim. “When you are young, it is the right time to make achievements when you can realize all your dreams. Have a ‘do or die’ approach, be focused and you can achieve your goals. Try repeatedly before your youth fades away, and you will definitely succeed,” he says. With this mantra, talent and forceful drive he bagged the honour of “Yuva Pratibha” at the Konkani Darbar-2002. Maxim was awarded the title ‘Melody Star’ by Pearls of Mangalore, a Konkani speaking association in Abu Dhabi on December 2, 2011.
As a boy, Maxim was in the Angelore parish choir. The encouragement from the Choir-Master, his parents, family and friends, inspired him to work on and improve his talent. Right from his childhood, Maxim would sing and practice music everyday. He would sing at church gatherings, take part in music competitions, sing songs at get-togethers and win the appreciation of the public. He was awarded the first place for three consecutive years in the Kalasampath inter-parish singing competition, in Mangaluru. He has judged several singing competitions and trains young budding singers and prepares them for various competitions.
He took Konkani music to heart and succeeded step by step. He built up Angelore’s ‘Glorious’ band twenty-two years ago, and overcoming several hiccups, he achieved success. Today the ‘G Major’ band, under the wing of Glorious Angelore is renowned in Mangaluru. Be it a wedding, anniversary or any grand occasion – G Major is ready to entertain the crowd.
Maxim achieved another milestone with the making of ‘Manasa’, a Konkani telefilm and dream project which was released on August 2, 2015 at the Cordel Church Hall Mangaluru. Adding another feather in his cap is the first-of-its-kind a Konkani-Tulu bilingual film ‘Ashem Zalem Kashem’, which was released in 2017. It was also directed by Maxim, under the banner of Glorious Angelore Productions.
At present, Maxim heads the Graphics ‘n’ Signs, G Major Music group and The School of Music in Mangaluru. To his credit, he has 13 music albums, 12 Maxim Musical Nites and over 50 stage shows. He has also performed in Mangaluru, Door Darshan Chandana, UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain with huge success.
