Business Profile: McClain
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1________
Actually, that’s really hard to find. Each
artist that we’ve been in have different
types of talent and are not alike. Dan
Reed is totally different from where the
U-KREW is at. Dennis Springer is even
further from there. All three have raw
talent that we helped to define. I would
say another key factor in helping artists
is their desire to be somebody and work
hard at turning themselves into a hap­
pening artist.”
Portland Observer-Then how do
you justify marginal talent or the market
getting the breaks, as oppose to the real
talented person working hard with no
record deal?
M cC lain-” There is always that as­
pect 1 call ‘time and space’, where there
is a certain amount of energy working
for somebody. You have an artist releas­
ing a record that at the time is just right
and the people arc ready for that product.
The business has not gotten down to a
science where you can go into the studio
and have the right formula for a hit
record. People like things atcertain times
and you just can’t put a specific formula
on it. That’s what I like most about the
business because the industry breeds all
types of people and they can all be real
successful.”
Port land Observer-W hat about the
one hit artist and out type of artist?
M cClain-” You are going to always
have those type of artists. Still, to me, the
artist that are true artists are the ones who
stick around in this business. Whether
they have a hit today or five years from
now, they’ve created a place for them­
selves because they are real. They have a
group of people who believe in what the
artist is trying to say. People like the
Whispers, Prince, Madonna, the Isley
Brothers, etc...they all come from the
heart. To a degree, consumers will al­
ways support them whether they have a
hit or not.”
Portland Observer-Should young
artists be more aware of the business side
of the industry as opposed to just per­
forming on stage?
McClain-” There are definitely other
things that young artists should be con­
cerned with as far as business. Take the
U-KREW for example, we try to show
them all aspects of the business because
they arc young and potentially sitting on
a great deal of success. There’s more to
it than singing and rapping. Being on
time, performing well, understanding how
the record companies work, accounting.
Producer Marlon McClain sports a big smile and one of his gold records.
Noted Internal Medicine Specialist Dr. Rick Hummel of St. Louis, MO. joins
the fun on a recent visit.
promoting your product to radio sta­
tions, etc...is very important to being
successful. Contract are important too. ”
Portland Observer-What’s been the
highlight of your music career?
M cC lain-” For me, the highlight of
my career is still happening. Everytime I
get involved with someone new, I get
excited and feel challenged by the proj­
ect. There hasn’t been one specific thing
that has made me feel the best. As long as
I can get up and keep making music is a
highlight for me.
P ortland O bserver-Is it easy to be
a Producer?
M cC lain-” No, 1 don’t think so. 1
say that because you must have tools in
order to do it. You have to have an
understanding of the studio and how it
works, the mixing board, and how to use
various pieces of equipment to make
music. But then you have to have th skill
of working with me to pull whatever
you’re trying to get out of that artist as a
producer on the tape. I think it takes a
special type of person to be a producer
because everyone is not wiling to spend
countless hours in the studio. Some people
have short attention spans.”
P ortland Observer-How muchego
is involved in the music industry?
M cC lain-” I think that there is a lot
of ego in this business. You can’t help
but have a lot of egos in this business
because you have people on every side
trying to be stars in their own right. You
have managers who think they make it
happen, the stars whocrcatc the music or
excitement, and then you have the people
at the record companies and radio sta­
tions who think that they make it happen.
Everyone thinks they make it happen or
push certain buttons. Sometimes it works
real well and other times it’s crazy. You
have to learn to deal with it if you plan to
be in this business. I’ve always said that
without the music, we wouldn’t have
nothing because that’s where it all starts.
New music and artist keeps the system
moving and happening.”
P ortland O bserver-” You don’t
seem to be affected by our ego or the
drama surrounding your industry, why?
M cClain ” I learned early on that
no matter how much you get in life, it can
be taken away. I think it’s always better
to be humble and do what I like to do and
that’s to make music. As long as I can do
that, make music, and treat people right,
I'm happy.”
McClain, who attended Adams High
in Portland before graduating from South
Salem High in 1973, encourages young
artists to send demo tapes to his office.
This process has discovered such hot
new talents as Kerry McCoy and Nyssa,
artists that you will be hearing more
about in the future. Tapes should be sent
to “ Darkhorsc Records, c/o Double-Tee
Promotions, 3903 SW Kelly, Suite #201,
Portland, Oregon 97201. No telephone
calls please.
McClain was voted “ Producer of
the Ycar’ ’ by the Northwest Music Asso­
ciation for his outstanding work in 1990.
