ABOUT THE PRODUCERS
Professor X
Professor X is a producer / DJ from Eastern North Carolina who finds inspiration from several musical genres—from house music to jazz to boom-bap hip-hop. He is best known for his soulful and nostalgically textured blends and mixes. He worked with artists such as Jiaani, Phocuz, Troya, Mickey Factz, and D’shawn & Soul. He’s currently the resident DJ for the new jazz club venue opening soon called Missy Lanes Assembly Room.
Katie Blvd
The musical work of Katie’s is inspired by the topics of diversity, personal discovery, her love for early hip hop culture, and the fight against social norms.
Her writing and production is a method of telling her own personal story as well as attempting to connect with an untouched audience of those stuck in the past, and standing in the out-casted crowd.
J-Mac
John “J-Mac” McCall is a music producer, Co-Founder & COO of Fourth Quarter Time, LLC.
Fourth Quarter Time, LLC is an in-house music production company creating compositions and songs for various brands, television shows, commercials, music artists, and labels. In addition, they also consult on music marketing strategies for companies and artists alike.
McCall & Co. create custom theme songs for television, music for impactful scenes on film and TV, and music for web videos. We openly welcome all genres of music. Our network of producers and artists will add an additional level of experience, creativity and power to your show, film, or commercial or music project.
Currently, the company has turned its focus to artist/brand management, with their own artists, Natalie Carr, Phocuz & Nick Tabron. While each artist differs vastly from another—they equally represent the company’s extensive music pallet, covering multiple genres, collectively.
