Hailing from the Bay Area in California, Marcus432 is an independent artist who is making a name for himself in the music industry. Marcus432 didn't always see himself pursuing a career in music, but after teaching himself how to produce and record music, he quickly realized that it was one of the only things that truly interested him and made him happy.

Starting out as a freshman in college at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, Marcus432 downloaded Logic Pro X and started producing beats. He quickly started recording and engineering songs for other artists at his school, and after moving out of the dorms and into a house, he built a recording studio in his bedroom. This led to an influx of artists coming in and out of his studio to record songs that he would produce and engineer for them.

As he got proficient at both producing and engineering, Marcus432 started creating his own tracks start to finish. Producing, writing, recording, mixing and mastering. He started off by making comedic music while he was getting the hang of everything, then gradually began taking it more and more seriously as the years went on. He continuously improved and told himself he'd never stop making music as long as he continued to see and feel like he was improving as an artist.

Despite facing mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, Marcus432 was able to overcome them by focusing on music, meditation and self-hypnosis. He states that music was the answer to finding a replacement for basketball, which was the only thing he truly cared about growing up, but was not good enough to play at a professional level.

Currently independent and signed to no record label, Marcus432 is inspired by a wide range of artists including Mac Miller, Logic, Drake, The Kid Laroi, 24kGoldn, Russ, Wiz Khalifa and many more. He wants people to take away from his music that they can carve their own path and do anything they want in this world once they take control of their mind. He wants people to feel empowered and inspired to be the best versions of themselves.

With a 3-part EP currently in the midst of a rollout, Marcus432 is definitely an artist to keep an eye on in the future.
