My guest for episode 83 is the founder and CEO of Unapologetic Record Label, James Dukes aka IMAKEMADBEATS. Raised by a single father in Orange Mound, James knew at a very young age that he was different. He later moved to New York where he sharpened his skills as a sound engineer at the legendary Quad Studios working with music industry stars like Ludacris, Solange Knowles, and Busta Rhymes. After returning to Memphis, James developed the enigmatic, faceless persona IMAKEMADBEATS and started his music label Unapologetic to include a record label, video production company, event coordination, and clothing line. On this episode, you will learn about his talented roster, his ideas on the Memphis art/music/culture scene and his own experience with battling depression and anxiety. Performing this past February as a TedEx speaker, find out what secrets he had to set free in order to start his Unapologetic Movement.
