We had the good fortune of connecting with 4GN Mari and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi 4GN, how do you think about risk?
I feel like taking risks are very important when it comes to doing anything. You’re going to have to take risks to get to where you want to go.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I think what sets me apart from others is that I’m really dedicated to getting better with music every day and getting to the level I want to reach. To get where I am now, I put out music consistently for years, spent thousands promoting it and getting visuals like music videos out. I bought my own studio equipment, invested in myself in plenty other ways as well. I stayed up countless nights recording music trying perfect my craft and it has been a long journey just to get here, but I am not finished yet. It wasn’t easy and may not get any easier but I know that I am talented and gifted with a very unique skillset when it comes to making music. Plus I know that my work ethic is unmatched, so I always keep pushing and trying my hardest to overcome any obstacles. On my journey I learned that you have to show your face and be in creative spaces with other artists or creatives to get your name and face out there more. Relationships and bonds go a long way. I want the world to know that I am really different from any other artist and that I put my heart and soul into my music.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
There is nowhere specific I would go but I would probably go to some clubs or lounges around Atlanta. Try out a few restaurants that I haven’t tried yet and maybe go to a few parties to show my face and interact with people

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Shoutout to everyone that supports and listens to my music every single time I post or release a song or project. It is greatly appreciated and doesn’t go unnoticed.
