M.A.C.B.

My dream started when I was a kid in a elementary school. For some reason that I can't really name, I grew this obsession with wanting to make people dance. I figured the way I could do that was by becoming a dj. As I got older and matured that obsession grew stronger and my visions changed. I no longer had aspirations to dj after really listening to music on a different note. At a young age I really became a fan of Timbaland and still to this day I am. He and a slew of other producers and musicians are the reason I love music. Just the reaction and feeling people get from a beat or deep lyrics is what I love most. It is my drive to deliver that same feeling whether I make a beat, write lyrics for someone else, or write for myself. I feel God has blessed me with the ability to connect with people and I feel this is my outlet to reach alot of people. Thru my music I want to change the way people listen and analyze music forever. I think within the past couple of years people are too into phases and fads and no one really takes the time to really listen or appreciate songs with good lyrics. I guess it all goes back to what one feels is good lyrics? I think that's where the problem is...There is no STANDARD. Each person has their own but it seems like there is no mutual understanding. That's what I feel I am here to do...DELIVER that STANDARD. I'm not going to say that I'm the best or act like I'm the best but I will GUARANTEE that I will stay true to myself and what I believe. I believe the morals and feelings that I have will attract people and catch their attention. I believe in keeping it real and not selling fantasies or dreams. I know music is entertainment but where do we draw the line? Who wants to support or listen to a bunch of exaggeration and lies? And once again I think that's where I come into play. I believe I am here to provide that line between fake and real no matter what the industry or media says. I remember when music used to make people feel a certain way like happy, inspired/determined, sad, etc. jsut emotional PERIOD. Today's music doesn't deliver that emotion atleast hip-hop and r'n'b. I remember watching clips of Michael Jackson touring or Mary J. Blige even Destiny's Child (old) the effect they had on peoples' lives. I mean these musicians made people cry just with their presence and that's powerful. Who has that kind of effect today? This is where my joy develops...in the HOPES and ASPIRATION that some day I will effect someones life and have a mjor impact on them to do something positive in life. Alot people will wonder where my name derived from. M.A.C.B. It started when I was younger maybe late elementary - early middle school when my sister and I would beatbox and record on my granddad's tape recorder. She would shout her then alias/nickname she got from school T-Mac, and shout out my name Mike B. After a while I figured in my mind that I wanted an alias or stage name, and something that would give me that man behind the music kind of feel. So I decided that very moment to go wit Mac-B instead of Mike B. Later on I developed the acronym for it Mike Always Can Bust meaning that I can always bust or perform in any situation. I am one to ALWAYS do my best in anything I do so that's how I developed the name. Since then it has always stuck and I'm proud of it. To be continued...
