Hailing from the heart of Queens, MarkiedeeJr introduces us to his unique sound, a harmonious fusion that pays homage to the R&B greats of the past while adding his own modern twist.

We had a conversation with Markiedee to discover more about his sources of inspiration, artistic approach, and the key message he intends to convey through his music - this is what he shared with us:
What is your creative process like and how would you describe the music you typically create nowadays?
My creative process draws from two sources: a melodic space and personal experiences. Once I've dedicated time to crafting a melody, I find inspiration in my own journey and the stories of those around me, weaving them into my music.
What Is The Message You Wish Listeners To Take Away From The Tracks?
The underlying message I aim to convey through my tracks is that staying true to oneself, especially emotionally, leads to a better path.

Excitingly, I want to share that I'll be hosting the "RTF Kickback" on August 26th—a gathering where fans and the community I've built can unite to celebrate a successful summer.
