Every so often, we experience the talent of an amazing artist as they establish themselves amongst present and future generations.

Born in Nairobi, Kenya, but raised in Boston, Massachusetts, Makio fostered his childhood appreciation for music into a full-fledged musical career. Inspired by artists such as Michael Jackson, Prince, and Stevie Wonder, he honed his dancing talent at an early age.

When Makio’s passion and talent led him to link with Surefire Music Group (Ne-Yo, Brooke Hogan, Jordan Knight, VH1, and MTV) in 2005, he prepared to embark on his most prominent journey yet. Having worked with such artists to date as Q Parker (112), Tony Sunshine (Terror Squad), Donnie Klang (Bad Boy), Serius Jones (Def Jam), and Jon Hope, Makio is quickly building a name for himself
