He writes, produces, and sings all of his songs from scratch. He further told us that he is the only one that is 100% backing his music. Especially when it comes to the business aspect of Music. “Music is 10% creativity and 90% business” he said. “I remember nights I would sleep in the car wondering how I was going to make it in this music. I was broke and running from the police and music would help me cope through the problems that us as a minority endure on a day to day basis. I knew I always had a dream and a passion for this, and that I would make it, I just didn’t know who to go to or who would believe in me but I didn’t wait on nobody now that it’s paying off, I only have God and My family to thank. This is more then just being able to do a song with Rich The Kid, this is for the nights that I didn’t know what I was going to do with my future and to see it now paying off, who gon stop me now?” He says that he has been in the studio night and day to give the people what he quote on quote said “y’all been missing that real hustle music, stuff that motivates you.” Music is more than just a song, it’s a story and he’s excited to share his story with Hiphop.

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.
