Focus is someone whose skill is only matched by heart and passion for the music he makes. He proved his chops by producing for the likes of Snoop Dogg, Jennifer Lopez, Lil Wayne, Christina Aguilera, not to mention his father was the renowned bassist and co-founder of the funk band “Chic”. Focus eventually signed to work with Dr.Dre as a producer among others like Hi-tek & Mr.Porter. He shares stories about the downtimes too and how he made lemons into lemonade, when he first came to California he was locked in a studio for 3 days and he decided to make the most of it by making 15 beats. He also shared the importance of protecting your mental health, he created a group called “Kings Quarters” to accomplish exactly that. All in all, Focus wants to continue to build for legacy, not for fame or money all while doing what he loves: making music.

There are some who are lucky enough to grow up in a city that has a musical revolution, Nascent was one of the few in Chicago that had enough smarts, skills and humility to actually rise with that revolution. Surprisingly though, his first big break didn’t come from Chicago but rather a trip he made to New York. After building a relationship with Kay Slay, he flew to New York only to not get the meeting he was promised but instead of getting down he paid G Unit’s office a visit. That visit turned into his first major placement with 50 Cent, he expected that one moment to turn his whole life around which didn’t end up happening. He still worked a 9 to 5 while still grinding away at getting better as his craft and working with artists around Chicago. He ended up getting the chance to move to LA which he took and instead of chasing big artists he decided to help build and grow with up and coming artists, like himself which lead to him working with Chance The Rapper, Cam Obi, Noname, Brent Faiyaz, A Boogie and many more. He also gets real about how to actually handle your business and not just the stereotypical fluff you usually hear. He dives into publishing deals, how you should go about creative marketing ideas, releasing your own music and where you should put your money.

Tiffany Miranda is someone who has always taken matters into her own hands, learned the ropes of the business and given everything back to help those coming after her. She got her start in music in her late teens, she even had a meeting with the Miami legend Uncle Luke’s record label. A few years in she realized she wanted more control of her destiny in music and began to learn everything about production and engineering. She was able to achieve success working with everyone from French Montana, Cool & Dre, Rick Ross to Lil Uzi Vert but saw how few women worked in the industry and how poorly the industry treated women. She then decided to apply that same hustle she used in her own music career to start “Girls Make Beats”, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping young girls learned how to produce and make it in the music industry. The organization has now grown to operate in Miami and Los Angeles and is even now helping young girls internationally realize their dream of making it in music.
