Maxime Morin (born c. 1969), is a Montreal-based Canadian multi-instrumentalist, better known for his work in electronic music under the name DJ Champion, or simply Champion. Maxime Morin began playing guitar at age 13, mostly specializing in heavy metal music. He went on to play in a few punk and metal bands, but by the age of 25, he found himself moving away from metal and gravitating towards techno. The transition was a gradual one: "Totally, I was like 'Dance music is crap!' So it was actually a big liberation, to lose my fear of dance music," said Morin in a 2004 interview. His girlfriend at the time took him to a warehouse show, and soon he began to attend techno Sundays at Les Foufounes Électriques, a Montreal nightclub better known in the 1980s and 90s for booking punk and alternative rock acts. By 1994, Morin began producing his own dance music and was performing around the Montreal club scene under the names Le Max and Mad Max. By about age 27, he stopped playing guitar altogether. In the late 1990s, Québécois composer Benoît Charest attended a Mad Max performance. After the show, he approached Morin with a business proposal; the two men went on to become co-owners of Ben & Max Studios—a company specializing in jingles and soundtracks. While Ben & Max Studios became quite successful, in 2001, Morin sold his share to Charest in order to continue his own personal musical career.
