## Biography

Marcus Saint-Richards (Also known as Marc) is a current Execxutive Producer and Board member of Def Jam Recordings, founder of the Construction Rights Union (CRU) and was formerly a contracting head supervisor for McGill-Olsen Construction.

Born on the 8th of July 1992, Marcus was born to a black mother and a jamaican father, he had a fairly easy upbringing. He was very into sports, especially basketball since Edwin would be very involved with local basketball programs in the inner projects of Broker. But by the time Marc had turned 7, on July the 29th Edwin would be involved in a car crash after he was late for work, later taking his life. Heartbroken, he would soon start dropping his grades and wouldn't attend many basketball events, even when his mother Lina would be there to watch. It just wouldn't feel the same without him there. After the 1999 school year began he would start to get better grades, and as Lina would begin a relationship with a new partner, Jacob Gersch, he would soon find a new love after Jacob had encouraged him to keep going. He would also spark his interest in skateboarding and especially photography.

Not too long after Santana was born, Marc's school friend and cousin of east coast underground rapper ZulphyrLC would introduce him to the music scene, mainly production, playing around on a WiWang MPK50C (MIDI Production Kit). He then got to hang out with them as he took in as much as he could learn. He also asked his mother profusely for anything he could use to make music, at which he got him a laptop. He would then become a beatmaker, although not successful at all, with beats that would today, sound really dated. But he liked them, which was all that mattered.

By the time he was 17 his grades were slowly falling off, which at the end of his 11th grade was not a good sign at all and he was just losing interest in school in general. By the time 12 grade rolled around he eventually dropped out of high school and had went for his GED, that eventually lead him to pursuing a construction apprenticeship, after hearing about a classmate who wanted to pursue construction because the pay was great. After he had attended a 3 month construction course and a 6 month internship he had been working on various housing projects until 2013 when he was asked if he and his family wanted to move to Los Santos to work on a major development site, the Mile High Club.

After he had moved into a house on Fudge Lane, which is now where his stepfather and sister reside, he became one of the floor supervisors of the site, but after years of higher ups mismanagement and just overall no work being done in the 9 years he had worked on the site, he resigned from the company altogether in 2017, but had decided to stay in Los Santos. During the next 4 years he would start his own housing company called Richards Halls Construction with an investor, and one of his old high school friends, which after 3 years of higher than high profit margins he would sell to McGill-Olsen for 34 Million Dollars, on top of the civil company they both had shares in for another 19 million, which by this time he would then start a union that would help protect the rights of 93 thousand contracted constructio workers in the county of San Andreas and Las Venturas.

With his new found wealth he would then double down on music. He had still been making music since 2011 but he wouldn't pursue it as a career until 2021 with his debut album, an instrumental 9 track album titled SaintStrumentals. It received good reception on its release, being the first instrumental album since 2018. He would also release a joint EP with his brother Santana, who would officially dub themselves "Government Richards" titled Hidden Hexology, a 6 track project that was made all the way back in August of 2015 but had never seen a public release until March of 2022.

By the time he had released Hidden Hexology, he was then asked to work on the soundtrack to the film Worst Behaviour, with director and fellow producer RXCH Esco, this movie would not only show off his production with tracks like Haris Pilton Music and Worst Behavior 2 alongside Hitboy Ja.

"No Comparisons, we more solid than they are. Me and HitBoy, they say we like the new Gang Starr" - Marc, July 22 telling reporters on the red carpet reveal.

After the success of Worst Behavior, he would then reveal singles throughout the rest of 2022. After dropping an instrumental on Bleeter, flipping a sample of James Brown's Mans World, he would release his first new Government Richards single, titled "Because I'm Me" to high regard. He would then drop a track called TV Therapy, which samples a handful of tv shows, movies and comedy specials from before the 70s. This wasn't received as well but it is currently used as teaching material at ULSA's musical theory class on sampling, sometimes hosted by Marc himself. He had also started to dabble in Drum And Bass, in which listening to MSX FM back in his childhood had brought his interest in it back into the limelight with tracks "Storm Trooper" with Societal Plague, and "Rio" featuring DigiPig, along with the Harry Atkinson remix. Both received rave reviews.

in 2022 he had started to tease a new project, ominously posting images with the caption "[ ]" hinting at a new album. Also he would tease a song under the pseudonym KVSHMYR called "swimming adults, stylised [swimming adults]. he would also release a brand new single titled Tadow with Nathan Perry and the Ultraviolet Jazz Club based in Algonquin. Tadow was a jazz fusion track, with the single version being 5 minutes in length and the album version totaling 8 minutes, it would also be one of the longest tracks and his best performing, not only being a critically acclaimed release, but also earning him his first Glammy Nomination for record of the year.
