President Bell, who is the CEO of Holdin' Our Own Records, real name is Mack Bell. The name MB Production came from the CEO's birth name.

Yes. I am also an artist, so I do play live. My most special moment was when a lil kid told me when he grew up, he wanted to be like me, and when my song "Best Just Wasnt Good Enough" made regular rotation on 99.7(WJMI) in Mississippi.

I think the Internet plays a vital role in the music industry. The business is constantly evolving, so the internet is a great place for artists to get exposure. Radio is becoming more and more obsolete. People rarely even listen to it anymore because it's so political.

Yes. Money talks! If the deal is fair, I'll sign.

I'm a hard working business man that aspire to be something in life. Luck doesn't usually come my way often, so I pray and work hard to accomplish my goals. I'm really a cool, laid back, fun person to be around if you get to know me. If you don't like me, it's probably because you don't know me. I'm outgoing and like to have fun, but I put my business before pleasure. Going out is cool, but I have my mind on a million, so partying isn't one of my primary objectives. If you see me at the club, im probably there handling business. I am the Owner and Executive Producer of Holdin' Our Own Records, L.L.C. I produce, mix, write, rap, and handle all the internal business logistics of this company. Anyone that has ever been affiliated with me will tell you I push my artists to their limits. I'm not with my artist being drunk or high on stage. If you want to do that, it's cool, but you do that after you have given the fans their money's worth. It's business first! I know what I want out of life. I'm not selling dreams nor am I buying any. I'm looking for a woman, family, and friends that will be here if the celebrity status end. If you can't keep it one hundred with me, it's best we keep our distance. The world smiles with you when you're doing good, but I know how people disappear when you're doing bad. I've been in this position before. It's nothing new. I submitted my solo album to Universal Records and I've gotten on their radar. They will be watching my album sales, so I ask for the support of all my friends, family, and fans. Bootlegging may destroy the chances of me getting the deal if Universal are solely watching my units sold, but the album can be purchased online, so it's open to anyone in the world that wants a copy. Of course, you can get it with a credit or debit card, but I take it a step further. You can mail a check or money order if you don't have access to a card. I have high quality full length songs on my site, which is www.HooRecords.com so you can decide if it's worth buying. There it is. No excuses for bootlegging. I really have a story to tell the world. I've been in the streets and I've been to college. I learned valuable lessons from both worlds. I have a gift to do music. I do it from the heart, not because it's what everyone else is doing. This is my talent. Every talent must be nurtured, so I took the necessary steps to master my art. Mississippi we here. Vicksburg stand up! I'm a man before anything and I place GOD before everything. Trust me, I've done my share of wrong like every other man, but the difference with me is... I NEVER STOPPED PRAYING OR BELIEVING THAT GOD EXISTS.

I have always liked Dr. Dre as far as production. It would be nice for someone to tell him about President Bell and Holdin' Our Own Records, LLC.

My favorite spot would be on the banks of the Mississippi River to gather my thoughts.

I'll keep that secret. I'll say this though. I'd like to get a deal off the equipment I use to give that producer that don't have deep pockets hope.

If God is for you, who can be against you? I've paid the price to be where I am today. Nothing was given to me. I prayed, worked hard, and never gave up. Hate it or love it, I Hold My Own!
