Othega 'MAC Mooney was born in Boston, the capital of Massachusetts. He experienced bereavement, at the tender age of five when his father, a Philadelphia native, was murdered; leaving Othega, along with 3 sisters to be raised single handedly by his mother, a Boston native. In 2006 Othega's mother was victim of a horrific crime and was permenantly blinded in the process.
As a youth left with the responsibility of finding how to fill his free time, Othega not only became skilled by age 8 on how to take public transportation back and forth to school and maintain a newspaper packaging job that began at the wee hours of 5 in the morning, but he also became involved in the realities and experiences of Boston's thriving gang-life, where jewelry, hot fashions, fast cars and drug sales played key roles in shaping it's members and sure to lead to rude awakenings.
Yearning for a profession more soul fulfilling and desiring to pursue his life passion of creating music, Othega boldly left the corporate world in May 2003. He planted the seed for Hothead Music Group, which is the umbrella house to several hip hop, rap, soul, rock and band playing artists. Othega Mac Mooney, known to many as Mac Mooney, creates music that is made of a mixture of spiritual poetry, fiery street lyrics, powerful awakenings, spicy hip hop and sporadic splashes of rock and roll tossed into a blender and turned on high. He spits out lyrics so commanding, they leak out from the cracks of concrete sidewalks and pierce through the lingering air pollution. Lyrics blowing through twin urban and suburban neighborhoods like a crisp storm of unmarked air. Powerful enough to make you buckle your shoes a little tighter, wrap your coat a little closer and squint your eyes from the intensity, all the while magnetizing you to the center of its strong tornado sound.
As the CEO/Manager and founder of HotHead Records, Othega also provides premiere marketing and media services and solutions to small businesses. He develops and implements ecommerce solutions, customizes advertising and distribution programs and implements multi-media technology solutions. He is well known for executive Production of Hot Head Music Group and distributed music compilations globally.
Othega has also received great acknowledgment as Associate Producer independent movie "FLASHOVER" which won several recognitions.
There is no secret as to why Mac continues to make his mark on the national music scene. However, there is a supernatural formula which continues to see this bonafide star win new fans from coast to coast. Ageless lyrics; unquenchable thirst for excelling in his craft, Othega displays an unequaled work ethic.
