The music industry is always changing and bringing forth new icons and legends for people to look up to. Macio Malone (also known as MC Burn Em), a student at AUM, is looking to be one of the many legends that we look up to in the music industry. Malone was influenced by music at a very young age. At 13 years old, he began writing and recording his own music. His influences came from megastars like Eminem, J. Cole and Lil Wayne.
