The excitement of dreams coming true is beyond the description of words and even more overwhelming when you can accomplish these dreams at a young age. But these dreams do not come true without the commitment and dedication to make them a reality.
Ascend Agency is working with Digital Music News to create opportunities for artists to be visible to the music industry.
To become an extraordinary person, you have to do what is out of the ordinary in everyday life. Malik Piper, notably known by his stage name, Lil Mav, is a young music producer who beat the odds to build a name in the music production industry.
Lil Mav started his career in music production at the young age of 16 when he began working with Digital Audio Workstation. He is widely known as a music enthusiast who creates melodious and engaging songs.
Lil Mav has accomplished major musical milestones. One of his top projects was producing the notable hit record, “City of Gods”, by Fivio Foreign, Kanye West, and Alicia Keys. This was a milestone that landed him on Kanye West’s album, Donda 2, and Fivio’s debut album, B.I.B.L.E, becoming a gold and billboard charting producer.
At 22, Lil Mav has accomplished so much in the industry, and there is no question that he is destined to succeed in the future. His unparalleled work ethic and authentic music style rate him as one of the artists likely to win a Grammy in the upcoming 2023 awards.
But Lil Mav also has faced numerous challenges. His greatest hurdle was growing up in the Bronx, one of New York’s poorest counties.
This exposed him to an environment full of violence and poverty. Affording even the basics was a struggle as he and his four siblings were raised by a single parent. However, this didn’t deter him, and his grit and resilience kept him focused on his music career.
Lil Mav advises other aspiring producers and musicians to follow their gut and stay focused. It is only when you remain focused that you can put your dreams into perspective. He says this is an industry that requires a lot of patience, willingness to take risks, and for one to stay humble. Despite the challenges that will come along the way, these values will consistently build a strong foundation for whatever you set your mind to doing.
Lil Mav’s popularity as a producer and a musician is skyrocketing, and this year, he is focusing on collaborating with more artists and planning to rub shoulders with some very big names in the music industry. His work with other established artists has seen him gain a strong following of supporters and provided the exposure he needs to continue soaring higher in the music industry.
Lil Mav is also eager and ready to return to the scene with more determination than ever before, taking his production to new heights and raising the bar. Undoubtedly, his passion, amazing talent, and resilience will see him top the game in the industry. His focus is on expanding his brand, mastering his craft, and creating generational wealth.
