Bio: My name is Mark Anthin Graham, born in Wilmington N C, but raised in a small neighborhood (Navassa ) in Leland N C. I grow up in the church listen to gospel music. Starting writing songs at the age of 15, thru a company in Boston Mass called Five Star Music Master’s. Not long after I started learning the production side my cousin set me down in his attic with a 4track Tascam and show me how to work it and then left me alone. I just fell in love with putting melodies and beats together. After I graduated from high school I was accepted to The Art Institution of Denver in Denver Co, for music production. I never start school, but I start crafted my ear and ability to put music together, at a Recording Studio called MIDTRACKZ in Aurora Co. There the owner taught me so much, being in a real studio was big for me, from learning on a 4 track Tascam in1989. From that point on my ear got stronger for knowing how to arrange a track, I also develop a drive to prove people wrong, and who wanted me to just do art. There are a few people in the Business that are inspirations and influences to me. Rick Ruben for signing LL Cool J (the GOAT) and starting Def Jam in his NYC dorm room, DJ primer and Mr. Sean Combs, I can’t forget Mr. Quincey Jones. These peoples play a big part in the way I go about producing music, because their  tracks don’t sound the same and their ability to produce all genres of music including Mr. Ruben his production credited is on almost every music genre. That’s how I want to produce music, not just hip hop or R&B records. I have the drive and the work ethic to get there, all I need is the Manager to get me there, Am so Ready
