American artist, songwriter, and entertainer MC Mixson, born Derrick J. Mixson II, hails from New York City, and has been putting in the work as an independent artist in the music industry to make a name for himself. The grind as an independent artist is never easy, but Mixson is making the most of his journey while staying with a positive mindset along the way.
His unique blend of sounds reflects the wide array of culture and music that he was exposed to throughout his life. Mixson has always had a passion for music, and his recent success suggests he doesn’t have any plans for stopping.
Featured in interviews on Shade 45 Sirius XM Radio and Dash Radio, and in Nick Cannon’s TV show Wild n’ Out, Mixson is making himself known in the industry, which makes it no surprise that he landed a distribution deal with Universal Music Group, and recently made it onto the DRT Global Top 150 Independent Airplay Charts. A major feat for Mixson is that the music video for his single “Eye Want You” now has over 200,000 views on YouTube.
Mixson isn’t stopping at just music: he is currently working on building a website to sell some of his original merchandise. He aims to have his works and brand recognized globally, which has been made possible through his unique fusions of sound and by taking inspiration across various genres.
