On this episode of March Forth with Mike Bauman, Mike chats with Josh Bauserman and Dave Fulford-Brown of Royalty Kult!
Josh and Dave's friendship and music partnership goes back more than a decade, as both were formerly in the band Interim Divine. The duo launched Royalty Kult in June 2020, and built a name for the band in the Los Angeles scene with their cinematic blend of hard rock and alternative metal. Over the years, they've shared the stage with the likes of Soulfly, Gemini Syndrome, and headlined multiple shows at the historic Whisky a Go Go on the Sunset Strip.
In December 2020, Royalty Kult released their debut album entitled Enjoying the End, the title track of which featured Doc Coyle (The Ex-Man with Doc Coyle podcast, Bad Wolves, God Forbid, Vagus Nerve). Since that time, Royalty Kult has dropped multiple singles and music videos, the latest of which is "The Dying." Released on 1/26/24, the heartfelt track features the late Jeff Sills, a close friend of Royalty Kult.
On this episode, Josh and Dave speak with Mike about their friendship and music partnership, what it was like building a band in the LA music scene, Josh's relocation to Nashville, their moving tribute to Jeff Sills in the video for "The Dying," persevering through tragedy and difficult times, what's on deck for Royalty Kult in 2024, and more.

Based in Nashville, Maks is a Canadian-American music producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. Having studied classical piano growing up at The McGill Conservatory of Music in Montreal, Maks had a love and drive for music in his youth that propelled him to where he is today.
Prior to moving to the Music City, Maks worked closely with Ryan Kowarsky of the group RyanDan. Together, they wrote and produced numerous hit songs with multiple Canadian artists, including Massari, Danny Fernandes, Belly, and Mia Martina. That success included a Juno nomination for "Dance Recording of the Year" for their work on Mia Martina's Devotion album.

Over the years, he's worked with artists ranging from Clint Lowery of Sevendust, members of 3 Doors Down, Honey County, Muscadine Bloodline, Cassadee Pope, and CB30, among others. He also produced and co-wrote the song "Got It From My Mama" from Honey County, which reached 1 billion views on TikTok.
Additionally, Maks' love for TV & film has led to his songs being placed on hit shows like Yellowstone, Nashville, True Blood, The Mindy Project, and Roswell New Mexico, among others.
In this episode, Maks talks with Mike about his early love for music, including studying classical piano under the renowned Russian piano virtuoso Marina Goglidze-Mdivani, what he learned about music from that experience, turning down multiple job promotions to chase his songwriting dreams, what it was like starting over in the Music City, and more.
