It was at 8 years of age that Mark Marksman Lloyd wrote his first song. It was a little ditty called “You gotta believe in yourself”. It would seem that he took his own advice. Marksman started rhyming at 13. At this age he made his first recorded song over a beat on the Deathrow Records website which he recorded onto a cassette tape. His Mum loved it. His first performance was freestyling in front of breakdancers at a hip hop workshop he attended at 15.
