For Dez Mac, moving 2,500 miles away from home and living in a homeless shelter for more than three months was what it took to follow his dream.
“No matter what you want to do, you have to take action and just try,” said Dez Mac, who was born in raised in inner-city Youngstown, Ohio. “Whatever it is, just by trying, you are already starting. You can literally do anything that you put your mind to.”
It is that kind of positive vibe that Dez Mac incorporates in all his music. “At the end of the day, no matter what is being said in the music, I try always to spread peace or just to share some type of love or something positive,” he explained.
Combining that feel-good message with standard hard drumbeat for rhythm, mixed with a hip hop beat, and a trumpet or saxophone here and there, and you’ve got Dez Mac’s unique style. Void any profanity and never degrading women, this young artist is blazing his path, and fans love it. Besides jamming to his upbeat rhymes, he is making a difference in fans’ lives.
From random social media messages stating that the “world needs his music” to a gun violence victim who plays Dez Mac’s songs during rehabilitation to walk again, the music is affecting fans worldwide.
And he is not stopping anytime soon. On Oct. 22, his latest single, “Know About It,” will drop. The song takes a serious tone focusing on gun violence, police brutality, and death, but this is not sad. In only the way Dez Mac can, “Know About It” challenges the listener to think about these social ills and prevent them from occurring in the future. Hence the hook: what you “Know About It” and the song’s title. The up-tempo jam with knocking drums and repetitive horns reaches your soul and provokes emotions that lead to the desire to make a positive difference in the world, wherever the listener is.
Additionally, this San Francisco artist is planning another single to drop before the end of 2021. While still in its infancy, he will be joined in the studio by the Bay area’s legendary producer DJ Fresh.
Dez Mac can be found by the water or a serene place along the West Coast when not in the studio, being inspired and writing future songs. “I like to quiet my mind, and be really calm and grounded, and then to just let everything flow out. I can’t articulate things the best. So, when I can write them, I can piece them all together, and it comes out genuine. It’s just the process that I’ve always used by quieting my mind and letting everything just come out.”
As Dez Mac continues to write and record, fans can expect to see him performing too. Taking advantage of some great opportunities, he toured earlier in the year with a few stops in Las Vegas and Atlanta during the NBA All-Star weekend. Plans are underway for future concerts where he will continue to make the world a better place, one song at a time.
