Frank Macek – Bringing It All Together

Welcome back to The Expressionist Magazine

To put paint to canvas, it takes a great bit of knowledge, even though it seems simple.  Really it’s the talent of the artist that makes it look simple.  When an artist takes the brush and mixes the paint, they must know exactly what colors work to create another because a mixture of the wrong colors just won’t give the true effect they want.  The same goes for music as well, something Frank Macek of Mongrol Records knows all too well.

As a producer Macek understands exactly how a good mix works, and the beauty it produces when done correctly.  Mixing the song is just like mixing paint for Macek, only the final product is art for the heart and the auditory senses.  When he mixes songs, Macek takes what works and makes it perfect.  His brother Bill will tell you that Frank Macek is a perfectionist with his work and has no problem scrapping something and starting over if it gets a better final product.

Macek is no stranger to music, especially on the production end. He is a Grammy nominated producer, writer, engineer and programmer.  He has a resume that would make many envious, some of those names are Grammy award winner India Arie, Ice Cube – Kill At Will, Death Certificate, Predator, King Tee-The Triflin’ Album, DJ Pooh- Del The Funky Homosapien, Yo Yo – Black Pearl, Quincy Jones III- The Fresh Prince Of Bel Aire – Tevin Campbell – Strawberry Letter 23 (REMIX), 2 Pac – Strictly For My Niggaz.  A resume with those names and albums are certainly impressive.

Today, Frank Macek’s main work is with his young nephews, Casey and Riley of Holes And Hearts.  Macek signed them to his record label, Mongrol Records and painstakingly molded them into the success they are today along with his brother Bill, Casey and Riley’s father.  With his leadership, connections and attention to detail, Macek helped the boys release a sure fire hit, “Holes And Hearts”  which was their debut CD.  He helped them receive endorsements from some incredible guitar manufacturers, and he had a hand in making his nephews one of the official spokes bands for “Rock Against Homelessness.”

Mongrol records is now moving to the Los Angeles area where he hopes to obtain some new talents that he can mold and shape into future successes.  This move is also to help Holes and Hearts in the entertainment capital of the world, where resources are at his fingertips.

This new label, combined with the proven success of Macek’s past will surely provide an incredible outlet for any rising bands of tomorrow. To obtain his services, simply visit his MySpace page www.myspace.com/mongrolrecords
