Jertaker: A young musician and enterpreneur who built his own business

Interview with Jertaker an American Musician, Entrepreneur, Content Creator & Wrestler
Journalist : Introduce yourself
I’m Jertaker, an American Musician, Entrepreneur, Content Creator & Wrestler from Buffalo, NY. I am 19 years old, and I represent EC City Productions or (E.C.P.) and the House of Trouble or the (H.O.T.). EC City Productions is a company, label, a business group that does many things such as music production, music distribution, marketing, videography, photography, business, content/entertainment, and much more. I am the founder/owner of this production. The House of Trouble is a group of extreme people who do crazy/extravagant activities for fun, entertainment, and experiences. Activities include getting pepper-sprayed, tased, stung by a scorpion, the world’s hottest challenges, sky diving, and much more. I am considered one of the most daring competitors of the group.
Journalist : What first got you into the entertainment world?
I have been doing YouTube for years, and I did it for fun for a long time. Probably like 10-12 years from now since I started YouTube. Eventually, I got introduced to Musical.ly, which is now TikTok. But before it changed to TikTok, I told my followers to follow my YouTube channel because I preferred YouTube. After that, I started getting a lot of attention to my videos, and around that time in 2015, I started making music as well. Now with the music, I have progressed a lot since then. Back then, I wasn’t good at making music, but I have increased my skill level by over 100% since then.
Journalist: Which mainstream artists inspire you and what qualities do you admire about them?
I would say Rick Ross, Olivia Rodrigo, The Kid Laroi, Iann Dior, KSI or Halsey. I just like their lyrical ability, how their voices fit well with the types of music they make, and how well their character works with their music. Rick Ross has a unique style of rapping that is hard not to like, along with KSI. The rest have a good singing rap/singing style that is catchy and lyrical and sounds naturally great.
Journalist : How would you describe your music?
I want people to see my work as something unique. Something out of the ordinary and put together with passion and dedication. I tend to do extravagant pieces of art, and I’m getting better by the day. I also have a lot of great work like this that will release soon that I believe no one has done before.
Journalist: What is the story behind your latest song and what key projects are you working on this year?
My last release, “Moment of Truth,” featuring Boston MA artist: “PVRTH,” had some success and was my first multi-genre song. It had its fair share of pop, rock, and hip hop. It was about two things, including how most people in the music game are spending a fortune and that the truth gets out. So, time can only tell where everyone will get. The other meaning behind this song is that someone like myself experiences fan recognition from my face.
In contrast, someone like PVRTH experiences fan recognition from his mask. When your face gets recognized with fame, it is hard to live the double life of privacy and fame. But when your face gets recognized with stardom, you can live a life of solitude and fame without a problem. I thought it was interesting because I’m sure many others wouldn’t think about this until it’s too late.
The projects I have for this year that I’m working on are plenty of songs. I have remixes of my old songs coming soon, two albums, two EP’s, and many singles. Some of which will be solo songs and some with collaborations. I hope to have release dates soon.
Journalist: How do you want to be perceived by your fans and what’s one message that you want them to know?
I want those to see me as someone who started from knowing nothing in the industries that I’m in to now being able to pull off almost anything due to the amount of information I’ve obtained and the work I’ve put in.Remember to invest in yourself no matter what pressure may come and never give up on what you truly want.
Journalist: What life lessons have you learned so far in your music journey?
I stuck to what I do best, learned from my mistakes, and tried my best to maintain functional bridges and never burn any.

Jimmy Dasaint: Philly’s Storyteller Who Does It All

From novels to movies to music, Jimmy Dasaint has built a career defined by one word—hustle. And this year, the Philly native is proving once again why he’s considered one of the city’s most influential creative voices.
His latest novel, BLACK SCARFACE 5: Fear is Stronger Than Love, is the explosive conclusion to his award-winning series. Co-written with former L.A. drug kingpin Freeway Rick Ross, the book dives deep into themes of survival, loyalty, and betrayal—all told through the gritty lens of Philadelphia’s streets. Fans have responded with overwhelming support, driving the book to ️️️ Star5️ reviews on Amazon.
But Jimmy’s storytelling doesn’t stop on the page. On September 20th, streaming service Tubi will release his newest feature film, THE WRONG BITCH. With a cast of rising stars—Tera Alford, JaQuai Felton, and Mavia Barnes—the film becomes Jimmy’s 13th feature, a testament to his consistency and dedication to bringing authentic urban stories to the screen.
And then there’s the music. Earlier this summer, Jimmy dropped STILL A HUSTLER, an album that has caught the attention of The Source, AllHipHop, and Floss Magazine. It’s raw, powerful, and reflective of the same resilience that has carried Jimmy through every stage of his career.
Through it all, Jimmy remains true to his motto: “Bringing Hollywood to Philly.” With each project, he shines a spotlight on his city while inspiring the next generation of creators to believe that success doesn’t have to come from leaving home—it can be built right here in Philadelphia.

Platinum Audio Engineer & Award-Winning Writer Mark “Savage” on Entering Management and Tackling Patriarchy

For years, Mark “Savage” Sanders bold, dynamic mixing style has landed him work behind the boards of major tours and hit records alike. Working with artists like Shordie Shordie, Lizzo, Coi Leray, Kevin Gates, Fetty Wap, Kelly Rowland and more, Mark sports an ever-expanding discography of cutting edge of popular music. We spoke with Mark to get insights into his career arc, workflow, and to understand how his unique sound is built upon a firm foundation of technical skill, knowledge and deep listening.
For starters, could you tell me how you got into engineering?
So at my high school they had an early college program where you could get your associates or a certificate by graduation. I wasn’t looking to be an audio engineer. I don’t even think I really knew what an audio engineer was, which makes it all the more crazy. I saw music production schools, but I went for audio engineering at Full Sail University.
What boards were you working on when you were doing live sound?
It was whatever the house had. Working on Mackie boards or Yamaha boards that only had seven inputs that worked—Avid and Midas consoles, the M32s, the Behringer X32, a lot of different stuff. Being a live sound engineer taught me so much signal flow and having to adapt to different spaces and different gear all the time. If I’m on tour and we’re generally using the same board, we’re probably never using the same monitors for front-of-house. The rooms are bigger or smaller—different places have different problem areas—being in a stadium or doing a festival where you have delays and all that stuff is just insane.
So you were ghostwriting, engineering, producing, and rapping in the beginning?
Yes I did it all except play an instrument.
Now today you’ve received a BMI Award, 2x Platinum, and over 12,000 sync placements how does it feel?
If I had to be honest I don’t care about any of it anymore. I want to see my Son win big like this. I’m more into family these days. I did everything I wanted in life and overachieved. I’m good!
We see you have Royalty ENTERTAINMENT & managing as far as entertainment goes what else can we expect?
Whatever God does. I’m not chasing anything anymore. Focused on living life, family, and wealth/health. Definitely support my DJ, DJ King, Ashley Blaire, and Pretty Liyah. Other than that I’m about to be out the way. (He laughs) I’m so burnt out. I’m chilling.
Last question, seeing that you did everything you wanted is there anything left that you haven’t 2025 going forward?
No just travel more that’s it. Like when I say I’ve given life everything I’ve had. I’ve given it everything. Plus I think most people are waiting for me to be famous or something which I’m avoiding and praying never happens.
