On April 1st, 2016, a pivotal moment in Map Style's journey came to life. Nestled in Las Vegas, the newly minted studio was poised to welcome its inaugural notes. Who would have foreseen that it would be Post Malone, then a rising star, who'd be the first to fill the space with his remarkable presence?
Recalling that day, Map shares with emotion, "I remember spending the early hours exchanging ideas and conversing with Post Malone, after leaving Brazil and sharing this aspiration with my wife and daughter, uncertain of how it would manifest. I learned the power of prophesying our desires, making them reality." Upon arriving in Las Vegas, a luminous sign announcing Post Malone's show at one of the casinos served as an omen. "I recorded a video right then and there with my cellphone, capturing the incredible coincidence," Map says. The story took an unexpected turn when the son of a colleague, who happened to be friends with Post, made an unconventional query: to use the studio for recording a mixtape, bypassing Las Vegas studios' restrictions. From that point on, the magical encounter ensued, marking the beginning of a unique and heartfelt collaboration.
Years later, Map Style paid homage to this moment with an unofficial remix of the recording made with Post Malone. This tale is more than a chance encounter; it's the materialization of dreams, the convergence of talents, and the celebration of music. As such, the legacy of this inspirational experience reverberates, reminding us of the significance of believing in our visions and transforming them into reality.
Hailing from Rio de Janeiro, Map Style was in Las Vegas not just for chance, but for purpose. He was amidst producing an album, filming a documentary, and constructing this very studio. This story serves as a testament to the power of music to bridge destinies and transcend borders, underlining how artistry and aspiration can come together in unexpected harmony.
