Twitch creator Maxwell Elliot Dent, known online as PlaqueBoyMax, has been named one of TIME's 100 most influential digital voices for 2026. The 23-year-old artist has expanded his reach beyond streaming platforms by translating his content into shareable moments, particularly from his "In the Booth" series. This series features Dent and guests live-streaming from a recording studio.
Dent has established himself as a rapper and producer, collaborating with notable figures in the R&B and hip-hop scenes, including Bryson Tiller, Central Cee, DDG, Quavo, and Jim Jones. His live-freestyled and livestreamed track, "Victory Lap," created in partnership with Fred Again and Skepta, garnered a 2026 Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Recording. This nomination marks a significant achievement for both Dent and the Twitch platform.
Further recognition came with two Brit Award nominations for "Victory Lap" in 2026, where he ultimately won the award for Best Dance Act. Dent's presence on the TIME100 list highlights his growing impact across digital media and the music industry.
