My name Demarko Payne, but over the years that I took being an artist serious Marko Payne became a way of life. I’m a man with big dreams and uncounted numbers of plans to make my career as an artist come true with drive to never let it die. I am currently working on my first album “As the castle breaks” while as well looking for funding, sponsors, and investors, for me as an artist. I have unique selling skills which are my voice, business strategies, studio engineering skills, I appeal to both young and older crowds, and I make music my fans can relate to. I’m from Cincinnati, Ohio and for the average artist they can get a little fame but for an artist like me, which is different, a cross over artist here has to deal with negativity and consistent rejection. Through all the havoc Cincinnati gave me I still successfully managed to feature on three albums, 4 mixtapes, with acquiring artist development and engineering. I’m influenced by musically by artist like Drake, Lil Wayne, Musiq Soulchild, Lupe Fiasco, Joe Buddens, Kanye West, Eminem, Saliva, Machine Gun Kelly, Big Sean, B.O.B and Trey Songz. My style is like Lil Wayne, meets Joe Buddens with a hint of B.O.B and I’m not afraid to cross genres.
