Today we’d like to introduce you to East Atlanta Montana.
East Atlanta Montana is a recording artist from Atlanta, Georgia from an area in Atlanta known as Zone 6. Growing up in this area was tough but Montana’s mom made the best of it while raising four kids alone. She even moved them to better areas to keep them out of trouble but Montana still found trouble as a juvenile. He was in and out of detention centers and on house arrest where he used his mom’s laptop to record music and ended up in more trouble so he had to go to a military program for six months where he received his GED. After he came back he formed a group called Gwalla Boyz. The group created a buzz throughout Atlanta and was offered management and label situations but couldn’t come to an agreement because it was so many members and they split but CEO Mario who is the brother and manager of East Atlanta Montana kept the name and made a promotion team with Montana and they threw parties in Atlanta and the name became even bigger.
They used those connections and artists that would perform and later become mega stars as connections to get in the music industry. Montana finally got in the studio and used these connections, with Coca Vango being one of the connects and a good friend of CEO Mario and Lil Quill meeting CEO Mario they came together to create Montana’s first single released as a Jugg Rich artist She Poppin’ ft. Coca Vango & Lil Quill. It created a huge buzz for Montana. He got back in the studio and started working with a high school friend and producer name ArmaunDidIt and released another single called I’m Guwop ft. Lil Quill and that brought even more attention so he started getting booked for paid shows and paid features from artists from different states and countries. He kept dropping and now has a global core fanbase and he’s in the studio getting ready to release a project that sounds like his best work.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It’s had its ups and downs but I make the best of it. I feel like everything happens for a reason and I just stay positive. If it was easy everybody would be doing it.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I’m a very energetic person and the music sounds amazing. I have a sound of my own because I just go in the studio and go off how I’m feeling and my lifestyle different so it makes my sound versatile. I can hang in a room full of corporate people then turn around and kick it in the trap and adapt. I’m proud of everything I’ve accomplished so far including my team and fans. I would’ve never thought I’d have fans from different states and countries playing my music
Who else deserves credit in your story?
My team including my brother, my girl and my mom and my family and friends for their investments whether its time or money and them motivating me. Bax and Givee have played major parts as well. Those are the big homies and they keep me going and humble. I couldn’t do it without any of these people. My fans as well.
