Doc Marky T is a former teacher, coach, and Rideshare driver that established numerous unofficial Rideshare world records in 2019 – coincidentally the year COVID relief programs would be calculated upon. After receiving nearly half a million dollars in COVID relief between 2020 and 2021, he purchased music studio equipment to reignite a dream of writing a Billboard hit record. After writing a song “Miss America” about a former Miss America but failing to get a response from her, he decided to take his first-ever music production course to professionalize his songwriting. During the course, he wrote the instrumental to “Feelings” while looking at pictures of Miss America for inspiration in the hopes of impressing her. The music was originally composed for a different vocalist and lyrics as part of the course, but he later recruited Myah Marie from an online music source to write and sing new vocals to the instrumental as a break-up song.

Grindweekly Interview with Pierre Limage

It’s great to have “Pierre Limage” in for an interview with us today, tell us about your background getting to where you are today?

I was born in Chicago IL, and raised by both parents in a Haitian household. I’ve always fought to be understood due to my upbringing in the cultural differences with being raised by another nationality in America. My parents never wanted me to be a rapper but a doctor or a lawyer. Never wanted me with long hair or any tattoos i Just had my own vision which was to be my own boss  which i utilized this platform to do just that

Where are you from?

South of Chicago in a small town known as Dolton

When did you start music?

I started writing my own music officially in 2006 but never really got in the studio until 2009 so it's definitely been a journey getting here

How did you get into music?

 I wanted to be a rapper so bad! I grew up on a lot of 106 & Park and Rap city in the basement. So I memorized my first ever verse by Ludacris. I remember the exact song til this day “Made you look remix” but I coined it as my own and went around the schools telling people I could rap until I got caught biting someone else's lyrics. I was so ashamed that i started writing my own lyrics shortly after and that's when my brother “Rich” recognized my talent and told me keep going and i did just that

What was the most challenging thing you have overcome in your life?

The journey more so, you have to believe in yourself more than anyone and be willing to do what it takes to get yourself in certain rooms. It's gonna be a lot of empty promises, a lot of fake help, and late support. You have to have tunnel vision in this game.

 Are you currently signed or independent?

Independent, I recently joined forces with Unified a subsidiary of Sony The Orchard on a major distribution deal for my label “The Bureau”

 Who inspires you the most musically?

First choice of this generation has to be Drake, from the melodies the bounce and the ability to be relatable i got to the rock with him i mean he’s even underrated as a lyricist in the game in my opinion

 What do you want people to take away after listening to your music?

After listening to me I want people to take a piece of me with them. I want people to realize what goes through my mind whether that be the playful and energetic side or my serious side. I just like to give people me and let them take what they want from it. After all music is art and art is perspective so all in a nutshell i want people to take away the essence of the man from the music

 Any new music coming out soon?

June 3rd,  we will be unveiling my first single of the year “I Can’t Save Her”

 What is your greatest achievement as a musician?

The ability to move to a new state, build a fanbase, get radio placement, and open up for Kevin Gates has to be in the top tier for now

Do you produce your own music? If not, who do you work with? 

Still shopping around for my very own in house producer but i've been working with various producers from the likes of Saint Cardona, AyoZch, Quizz, and many more

Who is one artist you wish you could work with?

I’ll take the 2011, The Weeknd in a heartbeat that trilogy and House of Balloons feel was just different

Tell us about any new music you have coming out? When is it coming out? What is it about?

June 3rd we're getting ready to release the single and video for my first single of the year “I Can’t Save Her”. a story fighting the idea of monogamy due to a piece of me still being a player by nature. With the idea of not knowing what “She” may really be here for its just a disclaimer “I Can’t Save Her”

What Does a day inside your shoes look like?

I try to stay as productive as possible making sure my business ventures are successful whether that be my clothing brand “SoldBySole'' or my label “The Bureau” is thriving. I also rent out exotic/luxury vehicles. When it's not business i'm usually in the gym or spending time with family and friends

Anything else you want the audience to know about you?

I’m also known in some circuits for my poetry as well as my acting abilities. I just love the arts so I was involved in plays as well as speaking events. I hold many accolades in those areas of my life

RedrumSociety’s newest single, “I Like You, You Like Him”, drops on the 4th of July this year. The band has been inching closer to making an alt-country song and this track definitely hits it on the head. Although the song breaks away from the sound they’re most known for, the lyrics and vibe remain consistent in their lighthearted take on heartbreak and relationships failing.

“We had a lot of fun making this song. I love the old country music, and I feel like we really captured that style of country when we recorded this one”, said RedrumSociety’s starring front man, Zach Cohen . Cohen is the lead singer and guitarist. This band creates the most sexual music your earholes will ever encounter.
