GRINDWEEKLY Magazine Interview with Billboard Charting Music Producer K Mac Beats

It's an honor to speak with you today. Why don't you give us some details about you and your success. How did you get to where you are today?

Thank you I'm grateful to be here. I've been working hard juggling a full time job and producing beats, sending out tracks as much as possible. It all changed when I got a message from Mrs. Jones to Amada records and linked up with Sebastian. We put a track out "fire it up" which ended up charting #3 on iTunes. From there I was involved on a compilation album called Red Devil which made its way onto the Billboard compilation albums list and reached #25. It was a great experience to have, and I'm honored by it all, I just want to thank those guys for all that they have done, it's a team effort.

I'm sure your success has not come easily. What challenges have you had to overcome along the way?

Energy, being an independent artist working physical labour has been one of those things were finding the Energy after work to create has been an obstacle. The cold up here in Alberta is something that drains me, it drains us all but somewhere still find the strength to carry on and create. If you love something so much you will find a way to continue.

Why should someone work with you over the competition?

I think that we all should be working at this together, artist with artist showing support for one another, I want them to know that I'm in this for the both of us and if we vibe together we should work together.

What's your best piece of advice for readers who desire to find success in their life?

Be consistent, get up in the morning and work on your skills everyday so you can stay sharp like a chef’s knife, find work so you can save that money and later on invest it into yourself for your goals, take some risks, fail and try some more, keep going and never give in.

Speaking of success, what does the word mean to you?

Success for me is to keep creating the music that I love and being able to care for my family, I find accomplishment in that.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

In five years, I hope to be a more well rounded producer, to have worked with more artists and built my brand into something that can take care of my family.

It's an honor to speak with you.  Why don't you give us some details about you and your success? How did you get to where you are today?

I am Its64boy, Richmond Virginia’s Super Gold Producer & Gold artist on Spotify. I also attended Norfolk State University where I majored in Mass Communications and Minored in Music Technology. This was a great experience because I was able to build connections with people from different parts of the world. My project Traumatized Life Story EP was also charted on Apple iTunes as #16. I also own a record label, Stackin Up Entertainment and we offer major distribution through EMPIRE. At the age of 4, I watched my pops Dj on the 1’s and 2’s and I developed a passion for music at that time. My pops used to spin records from Dr. Dre, The Chronic, The Beatles, and all the way down to Rick James and Smokey Robinson. I was intrigued by the sounds and that’s how I got to where I am today.


I'm sure your success has not come easily.  What challenges have you had to overcome along the way?

The challenges that I had to overcome along the way was finding solid individuals that you can trust in this industry that will have your best interest at heart. I realized that you have to create a situation for you to become successful. People become believers based on what they see.


Speaking of success, what does the word mean to you?

  Success to me means to have a roof over my family head, life insurance policies, retirement plans, emergency savings, and a mutual fund so that my kids will have options in life when they get older.


Let's talk about the work you do. What do you specialize in and why should someone work with you over the competition?

I specialize in Music Production, Engineering, Composing, Graphic Design & Marketing and someone should work with me over the competition because whatever I say I’m going to take care of, I do it. I’m just good business all around.


What are your goals in the music industry? What's next for you?
