Speaking with Hype Magazine last May, the Los Angeles-based upstart detailed his music industry dreams.
“I’m just a 23-year-old Hispanic based outta L.A. doing what I gotta do to support my family,” he told the outlet. “I can’t do what I’m doing right now to get money forever so I gotta move on to something I’m more passionate about. I was always into music so that had to be my go to. Now I’m confident that this what I gotta do.”
Mac also revealed he’d been working on putting together his debut mixtape.
“I got a bunch of songs in the vault that I want to put together as a tape, I think that would be a great introduction to new listeners,” he said. “But for a song out right now, I think ‘Breakdown’ tells a lot about how I live as an artist.”
