NOTES
Something I've observed over the last decade or so is that the roles of "artist" and "marketer" have essentially merged. As a direct result of the advent of social media, most folks trying to lead a successful career as an artist also have to find a way to promote their art. We can go into the details of this phenomenon another time, but perhaps one benevolent byproduct is that this is the perfect environment for auteurs. Artists who wish to carefully craft every aspect of their work have never had it easier, honestly.
Enter HiMarcus, the nom de plume of Marcus Narro, one such auteur. His can of earworms debut LP, Dirtbag, was released last September to an RGV that frankly did not see it coming. With its polished production, memorable songwriting, and strong stylistic vision, the album - and Marcus himself - wasted no time in making a lasting impression on the music scene.
On today's episode, we talk about how he got into music, where he pulls inspiration, his album's rollout and everything that went into it, and of course, some of his favorite music as well. Tune in below.
