Ep. 52: Regular Marcus / RecklessG4B (Artist / Producer)

Regular Marcus has produced for blackbear, Felix Snow, Tinashe, Wintertime and many others. In addition he has an incredible artist project of his own.

In this episode we cover his come up story, moving all around the country, the initial spark of getting noticed on Soundcloud, that leading to producing for other artists, into this turning into a full time career. At the end of the episode he gives incredible advice to anyone chasing a similar path.

I’m genuinely impressed by Marcus and his story. I hope this episode inspires you the same way it did for me. If it did, let us know. He’s @recklessg4b and I’m @andrew_ftw
