From Kanye’s Stronger to Nipsey Hussle’s LA sound and Chris Brown’s viral hits — producer MyGuyMars tells the stories behind the music and the faith that fuels his craft.

A true student of sound, MyGuyMars takes On That Note inside the studio sessions that shaped a generation. He remembers working beside Kanye West during the Graduation era, watching the Stronger beat evolve from a raw Daft Punk sample into a cultural anthem. He recalls helping Nipsey Hussle craft his “it has to sound like it looks” brand of rich West Coast luxury — and the viral Chris Brown track that was born from a happy studio accident.

Raised in the church and trained on gospel organ, Mars connects his early musicianship to modern hip-hop production, breaking down how faith, melody, and experimentation drive his process. Alongside Shawn Stockman, he reflects on the respect producers deserve, the evolution of LA’s sound, and the creative discipline that turns raw inspiration into timeless records.
