Mariah's graphic designer
Wearing a green bandana backwards around his shaven forehead, with a thick army fatigue coat covering his white T-shirt, Melvin Lee Jacobs, aka Lee Majors, 23, of East Baltimore, lurks in the shadows, stalking the sidewalks of our humble college town and the campus, blessing microphones at local hip-hop events like last September's Cipher Sessions, recording his debut album in the studios of WMUC, or simply launching into spontaneous philosophical conversations.
He's a suburban pseudo-prophet, if you will, just trying to make a profit. "When I came up here," explained Majors, "I was looking at the tools that the university had to offer. Since I had no money to actually attend school here, I started to educate myself. I go into classes and just take in the information they give me, taking notes, because teachers are paid to teach. I kind of educated myself the last seven or eight years, so technically, I would be a super-senior if I paid actual money to go here."
His label, InnerVision Entertainment, was launched in 1998 "as a record label with the goal of producing the type of provocative music that is sorely missing in today's mainstream". Under the guidance of Majors and his fellow workers, Innervision Entertainment has developed into a multimedia company acting as a one-stop marketing company.
In addition to music production and distribution, the label also specializes in graphic design for Web sites and fliers. It also promotes local urban-flavored events. "We sponsored the Baby Boy account around here and the Mariah Carey account," Majors said. (University Wire) Many thanks to Mariah's Web.
