For all the accolades a musician receives for releasing great music, the producer is frequently the driving force behind the record. Dreaz Anthony of M Recordz has demonstrated his abilities in the industry with the tracks he has created. He is a risk-taker and a visionary, and his ability to think outside the box has led him to produce music for numerous local, regional, and international artists.
From humble beginnings, Anthony started producing music while in school charging his colleagues only $10 to record a song. At the time he saw it as a way to generate some income while in school but over time his passion for producing music went far beyond that.
“I entered the industry while in secondary school. I started making beats and at the time I used to use that as a way of making some income. Basically, I used to record songs for people in my school for $10 and it became a passion. While in school my sister bought me an Acer laptop which I was supposed to be used for school but of course it was used for music I remember going to S&S to get those headsets and mike sets and I started recording myself and I used to hear all the crickets, vehicles passing in the recordings and I wondered how artists like T-Pain had those clean recordings.”
“As I gained more experience, I started making more money so I got proper equipment, speakers and so on. By form four, I had a mini setup already. From there my friends and I started making music and that is where everything kicked off from. The label started off as Triple SM Music Production, then to Motocross Records but this was way too long so I settled with M Recordz.”
To date, M Recordz has worked with numerous artists here and abroad including dancehall artist Heirtothethrone, BOA, Justos, Gersham, and underground international artists and has produced beats for artists such as Masicka. Anthony is also the mastermind behind riddims such as 9 Ball Riddim, Badness Award Riddim, Choke Riddim, Positive Instrument Riddim, Love Triangle Riddim and much more.
“Right now, M Recordz is putting together several mixtapes and albums. I have an EP called ‘Testimony’ releasing soon which speaks on all the struggles and disappointments I have had in the industry and life as a whole. It is an eight-track EP which will be released on January 8, 2023. Our artist Heirtothethrone will be releasing a song called ‘Victory’ very soon again speaking on the struggles in the industry. Apart from that, we have a few gigs in Canada and the US where we will be doing a few tours. So, 2023 is very promising and as of now we are in the preparation stage.”
Anthony urges young musicians to be their own brand and create their own paths regardless of other people’s opinions.
“Be your brand, be your own person. People have their own rules about how you should do things or live your life but guess what you alone can direct your life. Make your own rules for your life, and write your own story. People won’t understand at first but eventually, they will see where you are going.”
