What’s good slim!? It is I, Stevie Mack, singer-songwriter. My love for music has been radiating from my soul for 22 years. I’m only 21 but my parents made sure I was jammin’ out to James Brown even when I was in the womb. Why my dad felt the need to put a radio next to my mom's stomach is beyond me, but my journey as a musician actually started with sports… Yes, sports. Like music, sports bring people together regardless of their background. For me in particular it was football. Football was my favorite sport to play and is still my favorite sport to follow. However, my passion for playing the game came to a complete stop when I reinjured my left knee going into my sophomore season. TBH this injury changed my life. It was during this time of my life where I started to develop my musical identity. A cappella and choir allowed me to do just that. If my life was a relay race, you could say football handed the baton off to music. Music plays a huge part in cultivating an athlete's alter ego. I’m the type of person who needs to listen and perform music that makes me feel A LOT!! When I say “feel” I’m talking about any specific emotion to the highest degree. I mean full throttle. The key for me is to be able to translate that same energy of whatever I’m listening to, into my performance. I could be listening to Hail Mary by 2pac as I get ready to sing a Classical Aria or 1800s musical theatre. For me, music is all about energy. Like I said if my life was a relay race, music has a baton. Hopefully, this leg is the anchor and lasts for a LONG LONG time.
