- 2. I started writinglyrics in the 7th grade as my interest in music started to burst. My inspiration came from a non-blood family member who performed songs at birthday parties throughout the year. By the time i graduated high school, i had written tens of unpublished songs, which became hundreds by the time i was discharged from the Army in 2014. In 2017, i started my independent music label to fuel everything i love about creating songs. As of now, i strive for a physical location to serve as a foundation for my music business. IDENTITY

- 14. D’Mazzio Hill (professional) MazziCGA (artist) Many music artist start off in limbo because of no official blueprint or steps to access resources within the music industry. It’s this reason that i started my music label based on the ‘DIY’ method and now provide ‘down-to-earth’ consultation and next step resources for 'freshman’ artist. In fact, i joined ASCAP as a music publisher and artist and released music officially through major DSPs that is currently being monetized on music and social platforms.
