About DryCappuccinoGuy and Livin It Up –

Sometimes it’s just time to turn around and go the other way. That’s
just what Mark “DryCappuccinoGuy” McKinney did. After years of raising a
family and working hard making other people money, he found himself
alone and without direction. Looking to his past for inspiration he
discovered music again. Over the past few years, he has been working on
his dream and has never felt better. It all started with an idea to
someday write a musical. With a little help, and a lot of patience,
Mark purchased instruments and recording equipment and started
construction on a small but effective home studio. He did quite a bit of
studying and with a bit of help he was able to begin recording in
January of 2010. The resulting single “Livin It Up (In My Mid Life
Crisis)” is the first, but definitely not the last of many projects to
come.

The idea was to start with a couple of songs, so he started with a
chart written and orchestrated entirely on computer. The goal was to
start with the easiest song first. Mark was able to enlist the talent of
some of the D.C. areas talented rising stars as well as experienced
veterans to complete the songs. But despite being more complex, “Livin
It Up” took on a life of its own. The musician’s enthusiasm for catchy
melody and infectious rhythm took over and as a result it was finished
first. “It turned out to be a significant technical challenge that was a
tremendous learning experience” says Mark “DryCappuccinoGuy” McKinney.

    Things continue to grow and evolve as DryCappuccino Entertainment; LLC now takes on the face of a record company.

    Mark would like to issue many thanks to all those that helped to
make this dream come true, especially the musicians and engineers.
