Meet Mark Lawrence Jr

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Mark Lawrence Jr. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Mark below.

Hi Mark , so happy you were able to devote some time to sharing your thoughts and wisdom with our community. So, we’ve always admired how you have seemingly never let nay-sayers or haters keep you down. Can you talk to us about how to persist despite the negative energy that so often is thrown at folks trying to do something special with their lives?

Haters Gone Hate, but at the end of the day there will always be somebody who will congratulate and appreciate the work ethic that’s being put into my craft. So I could care less about the haters and naysayers!!!. Just fuels my motivation even more 💯

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

I’m a father to my two beautiful Daughters, Mariah and Malani. They are the reason for everything I do. They’ve helped me become the Man that I am today and I share that journey throughout the music I put out as well as the two jobs I hold to hold them down financially. I would love to start a non profit organization that benefits under privileged youth throughout my community and expand on that throughout other communities as well. My brand is CH$N4GR ENT and is the acronym for Chos3n 4 Greatness my artist name iiamchos3n which also stands for Illustrate Inspiration and Motivation. My album The Chos3n One is set to release Soon at the ending of this year or beginning of next, the date is still undecided for now but stay tuned to my instagram @iiamchos3n for more updates

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

KEEP GOD FIRST!!!
Still Consistent, It Pays Off TRUST ME!!!
Remain Focused and Resilient through troubled times

How can folks who want to work with you connect?

Yes, I’m looking for more west coast artist to collaborate with for my next project. I’m open to working with artist of all genres though. If y’all wanna work feel free to tap in with me on all my social platforms and shoot me a DM or Email at [email protected]
