Madd Mark has been crowned the first official TuneCore RAP UP rap and RnB competition champion! RAP UP is an initiative from the distribution company to promote and provide support to independent acts in the local Filipino music scene. Not only does RAP UP provide guidance to artists, but the project also culminated in an opportunity to its eventual winner to represent the Philippines at the Asean Music Showcase in Singapore in October 2023!
Madd Mark, who is a native of the Valenzuela area of Metro Manila, won over the audience and judges with his unique sound. He shared the following statement after his shining moment: “By embracing your weirdness, you acknowledge that it's what sets you apart and makes you special, contributing to a diverse and vibrant world. This self-acceptance allows you to be authentic, genuine, and unapologetically true to yourself, fostering a sense of confidence and empowerment that can positively impact both your personal life and creative endeavors.”
