Mark Eckert, a hip hop producer from Charlotte, North Carolina, is an important figure in the field. Mark has become well-known as a producer thanks to his work with such stars as Lil Baby, Future, and Joji.

Ascend Agency is working with Digital Music News to create opportunities for artists to be visible to the music industry.

In addition, he just dropped a whole new album, and the vibes on “SUPERSUPERCOOL” are flawless. There are five tracks totaling just over 12 minutes on the project, and they all include soothing tunes appropriate for any activity, whether you’re strolling along the beach, taking a nighttime drive, or cramming for an exam.

Mark’s love of music started at a young age, when he was just 3 years old and was already playing the piano. By the time he was 9 years old, he had switched to drums. He continued his pursuit of music in higher education and is now making waves as a professional.

Mark Eckert is an accomplished businessman in addition to being a skilled producer and engineer.

That Pitch, Cleared Music, That Playlist, and THAT NINETIES KID are just a few of the enterprises he founded. Using That Pitch, he has helped independent musicians and producers from more than 30 nations have their music distributed by labels like Soundstripe and Artlist.

There have been thousands of tiny placements of these tunes all over YouTube, podcasts, and other media outlets, with clients like Netflix, Hulu, Marriott, PBS, MTV, Burberry, Adidas, and Nike all paying royalties. Mark gives the International Rescue Committee some of the money made by That Pitch.

Mark has been featured in numerous music industry publications and podcasts, including CD Baby, Beatstars, Six Figure Home Studio, Modern Musician, and countless others. He has spoken on panels at numerous music industry events, including Charlotte SHOUT!, Success in Music, Confluence, The Platform, and many more.

Mark is dedicated to his profession, but he doesn’t put himself in the same category. His non-work activities include going on hikes with pals, visiting new places with his wife Shirah, playing with their dog Margaux, and making music with pals. He has been around for quite some time, and his career is a testament to the power of dedication and enthusiasm.
