International Mack was born & raised in Syracuse, NY. Upon entering middle school, his musical journey would begin as he aspired to become a Music Producer. After getting expelled from high school at only 16 years old, he and his childhood friend “Eastwood Slim” went on to sign their first management deal as a rap duo (Mack & Blizz) creating a buzz across New York state. Unfortunately, his friend would be forced to serve a 13 year prison sentence, which ultimately led to Mack leaving his hometown at the early age of 18. After relocating to the bay area in 2008, he found some luck producing for a few indie artists, but he decided to pursue college in Las Vegas & earned his Bachelor’s Degree by 2014. He took on roles as a Recording Engineer, Live Sound Tech, Creative Content Director, Videographer/Editor & Fashion Designer. He is currently the CEO & Co-Founder of Mack Attack Productions & Around The Way Shop. After staying independent for almost 2 decades, the Filipino artist is no stranger to being an underdog. Coming from a city surrounded by crime & poverty to selling out shows in Las Vegas & designing clothes for celebrities in Los Angeles; Mack has defied the odds several times. He touches on his journey through a lyrical showcase on his latest album “The Understanding” which features Dave East, Benny The Butcher & Conway The Machine. Collaborating with other living legends like AZ, Styles P, Uncle Murda & Tragedy Khadafi, Mack redefines the underground.
