Independent artist and visionary, Ace McCain, also known as Cainvstheworld, is carving a bold path in the music industry. With his authentic storytelling and passion for artistic innovation, McCain is determined to bring life back to an industry facing unprecedented challenges.
A Vision to Reignite the Music Industry
McCain’s short-term goal is as ambitious as it is inspiring: to “take over the world” with his music and his team of talented artists. Amidst significant changes in the industry, including the layoffs of over 50-100 executives at major labels, McCain is focused on redefining the music landscape with creativity and integrity.
“I want to bring life back to the industry that people are trying to let die,” says McCain.
Upcoming Projects: Feeding the Fans and Building Community
Ace McCain has been hard at work on a series of projects that showcase his versatility and dedication to the craft. His highly anticipated solo project, “7”, will feature no guest appearances, emphasizing McCain’s individuality and powerful storytelling.
Before “7,” fans can look forward to “Iron Sharpens Iron 2”, a continuation of his popular tape compilations, and the release of “Cain and Friends Vol. 1”, which promises special guest appearances and an exciting blend of sounds.
These projects reflect McCain’s unwavering commitment to his fans, providing them with music that’s both meaningful and relatable.
Long-Term Goals and a Unique Perspective
McCain’s long-term vision is rooted in perfecting his craft and sharing his knowledge with others. “I want to teach as many people as possible the uniqueness of artist development,” he explains. For McCain, making it as an artist is about achieving the ultimate freedom of expression—a value he holds close to his heart.
What sets McCain apart is his dedication to authenticity. “I give my real story—they be lying to y’all,” he says, referencing the lack of genuine narratives in the current music scene.
Beyond Music: Building a Multifaceted Legacy
When he’s not creating music, McCain stays busy juggling multiple careers, including food content influencing. His entrepreneurial spirit is a testament to his ability to adapt and thrive in a competitive industry.
McCain also collaborates with his partner, Ryan, to host Welcome to the Community Festival (WTTCFest), an event set to take place in Austin from March 14-16, 2024. The festival aims to foster a sense of unity and celebrate creativity, aligning with McCain’s mission to build a thriving community around his music.
For the Fans: A Message Through Music
McCain’s music resonates deeply with his audience, offering them a sense of connection and understanding. “I think my fans get freedom of expression from my music,” he shares. His raw and honest storytelling continues to inspire listeners to embrace their own truths.
Stay Tuned
With major projects on the horizon and a festival to bring fans together, Ace McCain is proving that his artistry goes beyond music—it’s about creating a movement.
