Featured Music2DealLeave a comment

M2D: Tell us a bit about yourself

MkS: My name is Mckaywer Sting Salethan, professionally known by my stage name 4Staan. I am a music producer, recording artist, and mixing & mastering engineer based in Kanyakumari, India. I have been actively working in music production for over six years, creating and collaborating on independent music projects across multiple genres. My work focuses on producing emotionally engaging music while collaborating with artists and creatives from different backgrounds.
