Maximiliano Camacho Jones could’ve been a telenovela star. His parents were Mexican acting royalty. Instead, he’s spinning tracks in New York clubs most people have never heard of.
The 36-year-old is the only offspring of Rebecca Jones and Alejandro Camacho. His mother appeared in Cuna de Lobos and El Ángel Caído before her death in March 2023. His dad is still acting, in stuff like El Señor de los Cielos. They were one of Latin America’s biggest celebrity couples for nearly three decades.
But you wouldn’t recognise him on a New York street. That’s how he wants it.
From Film Sets to Soundboards
Growing up meant film sets and script readings. Normal weeknight stuff in their house. But his parents never pushed acting on him. His grandfather Gordon Jones, a musician who died in 2007, got him into music early.
“My parents never pushed acting on me,” Maximiliano said in 2019. “They wanted me to find my own passion.”
Building a Career Nobody Talks About
He moved to New York properly in his twenties. Studied music composition. Learned DJ techniques. But he also hit the underground scene, learning from grassroots artists in late-night clubs.
He released his debut album Ecliptic Rhythms in 2017. Electronic, house and ambient sounds mixed together. Critics liked it. His second album, Urban Echoes, was released in 2020. The single Eternal Embrace topped charts globally. He’d already worked with David Guetta by then.
His newest single Echo Chamber was released in 2024. Darker stuff. More experimental. In December 2025, he is still in New York, performing in Coachella and Electric Daisy Carnival if he’s in the mood.
His estimated fortune is reportedly £3.7 million. That’s from music sales, DJ fees and, yes, the inheritance from his mother’s estate, which was valued at about £4.4 million.
The Loss That Changed Everything
Rebecca Jones battled ovarian cancer following her diagnosis in 2019. Maximiliano Camacho Jones was present when she passed away on 22 March 2023. His dad, Alejandro, said he was with her until the end.
His parents divorced ages ago, but both supported his music career. Rebecca would show up at his DJ sets in Mexico City, dancing in the crowd like any normal mum. Her death changed him. He’s said her strength during illness pushed him to stay authentic in his music.
Why He Stays Out of Sight
In a world where celebrity kids post every meal on Instagram, Maximiliano Camacho Jones keeps quiet. His social media shows work, not personal drama. He doesn’t post any selfies with his famous friends. His relationship status remains a mystery to everyone.
He’s got one of the lowest public profiles of any famous Mexican’s kid. That’s deliberate. He’s carved his identity as a DJ in New York’s competitive scene without leaning on his parents’ names.
Sure, being born into that family opened doors. Connections matter. They always have. But he’s done the work. Major festivals. Collaborations with established artists. He creates original music that stands on its own.
His parents dominated telenovela screens for decades. He prefers recording studios and underground clubs. They loved attention. He avoids it.
What Comes Next
As of Christmas Eve 2025, Maximiliano continues working on new music. He is still in New York and performing at select venues. He is keeping his personal life private.
He’s got a half-sister, Francesca Guillén, who’s acting in Mexico. She chose the spotlight. He didn’t. Different siblings make different choices.
There have been no scandals, no reality shows, and no desperate grabs for attention. Just a bloke who inherited fame and decided to build something different.
From telenovela royalty to electronic music artist, Maximiliano Camacho Jones proves you don’t have to copy your heritage to honour it. He carries his family name forward in beats instead of scripts.
And he’s doing it quietly, which might be the most interesting part.
