Since the early 2000s, the TV and film industry has seen many talented individuals position themselves as major players on the mainstream front. One of these talented individuals, Marcus Churchboi Askew, has carved out a name for himself as a super-producing powerhouse and TV/film composer. During the fall of 2009, the Grammy Award-winning composer and pianist gained experience as a session musician with Grammy-award-winning musicians and writers.
Marcus Askew’s success is no coincidence. Whether it be his previous work with well-respected musicians, or his now flourishing career as a producer, there are many reasons that you should know about this up-and-coming artist, and music.
His journey into the music industry began when he met rapper Yung Joc at a gas station in Atlanta, Georgia. He explained that he had always wanted to become a producer but was afraid to take the chance. His desire to further his music career only intensified when Yung Joc asked him for some beats during their encounter at the gas station.
“I gave him my number and I guess he really liked what I had to offer because I got a call from him that night asking for more beats,” Askew said.
He also ghost-produced two Grammy-nominated albums and teamed up with the super production team Urban Rockstarz. The collaboration pushed him to take a leap of faith and move to Los Angeles, California, where much of his success is currently based.
Marcus Churchboi Askew garnered over 150 TV/film placements for major networks such as VH1, BET, MTV. He also did the theme song for the hit TV show R&B Divas LA. His astounding credentials speak for themselves. He obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Music Technology, a Master’s degree in Sociology and Divinity with a concentration in Spiritual Outreach, and a doctorate in Music Interpretation with a specialization in Self-Actualization.
“I learned to get over what other people think, but it took me a while to overcome this challenge,” said Marcus “Churchboi” Askew. “When your sense of pleasure and satisfaction are derived from comparing yourself to others, you are no longer the master of your own destiny. While it’s impossible to turn off your reactions to what others think of you, you don’t have to hold up your accomplishments to anyone else’s, and you can always take people’s opinions with a grain of salt. That way, no matter what other people are thinking or doing, your self-worth comes from within.”
Marcus Churchboi Askew specializes in music composition, music production, composing songs, piano techniques, and overall music architecture. Due to his solid reputation in the industry, he has received quite a bit of buzz within the industry by word-of-mouth referrals and client testimonials. In the past, he has been featured in a wide range of mainstream news outlets including FOX, CBS, and NBC. As a result of cultivating his expertise and skills, he has cultivated his own personal brand, allowing him to succeed both in the film and television industry.
“If you do a great job with one artist, it is likely they will tell their friends, family, and even colleagues when asked. People will typically choose a brand/person that has been recommended by someone they trust, over a brand/person without that personal connection,” he shared.
Amidst a sea of talented artists that have made a name for themselves in a modern social media-dominated world, Marcus “Churchboi” Askew believes he is different from the rest. He envisions himself getting more awards and inspiring the world through business and music. He hopes that his audience will know that success is all about passion, forging their path, enjoying the moment, and attaining mastery.
“I just want people to know that I’m out here doing it and having fun. Fame is not a priority, but I am trying to do something positive for my community,” Askew said. “Successful people are enjoying themselves. They’re focused on what they want and living their dreams.”
He believes that his followers should understand that success is about passion, creating their path, delighting at the moment, and achieving excellence.
