(The Kingz, Elzhi,finale, Invincible,A7, Buff 1, Doc Illings, Amir Lye, Das Sun, Stryfe, etc too many names... But in some type of way every artist i've run into has been an infuence to me. Whether it be seeing a cypher or listening to an album they have given me the essentials, inspirations, and many more things that have crafted the art that i have. ANd I say THANK YOU.
Production Wise...
First off i want to thank Dre for gettin me started with producing. And the Illiance for showing me the blueprints on how to make some beautiful music. But production wise as an influence....Apollo Brown, Drummer B, YC, ZO! Dre, Just Blaze, DJ Premier, Neptunes, Kayne, DJ Khalil.
Born and raised in many areas of Detroit. Marc Byrd (or just Byrd) has always been embraced by the wonderful art of music and literature. Rapping and writing poetry since 1997 Marc has came across various influences that were the catalyst to persue music seriously. By the age of 18 it was set in stone that music was the love of his life. Trained by the Kingz and molded by the Illiance Byrd strives to continue making GOOD MUSIC.
