Hey whats up Myspacers! Its your boy, Dre aka Mr. Aktain, hollering and you have just landed on my page. Recently I have been busy with a lot in my life (personal and business) so please bare with me if I haven't hit you back quickly.
At the moment Im a GRADUATE from CUNY-City College with a BA in Public Relations and Advertising (minor in Music), F/T worker/teacher for NYCDOE, owner of Ak Media Productionz, (dealing with music production, graphic designing, tv/film prod.), P/T radio host on SHOW N' PROVE RADIO online, every Saturday and newly clothing designer (Launching in Summer 2008).
This year is TIME FOR CHANGE. With the new job doing well, artists hitting me up for beats (was NOMINATED for Independent Music Award w/ my dude, MaG for producing the track "Politikin'" on his "Reganomics" album, during the end of 2007), the TV show getting me out there, the radio show on the internet, and the clothing line launching this SUMMER, its not hard to notice that very soon AKTAIN will become a household name but STAY TUNED 4 MORE in 2008!!!!........
ATTENTION:
All Artists, Producers Promoters & Entertainers
I appreciate the friend requests and messages to check out your pages, BUT its hard to actually check them all. If you like the music that you hear playing on my page OR on my soundclick & your interested in buying/leasing beats, let me know w/ a message first and i will gladly hit you back.
Do you need a flyer to promote an event?
A company logo? business cards?
And for a REASONABLE PRICE?
