Markcus Sanders, an emerging artist and entrepreneur from Lawrence, Kansas, is building his movement through music, business, and a vision centered on creating opportunities for others. As the founder of 785 Records and Rose Promotions, Sanders represents the independent Midwest spirit—turning setbacks into motivation and hard work into momentum.
His single “My Mind” is making serious noise, with the track showing 346,666 all-time streams and continuing to reach listeners around the world. The record reflects Sanders’ mindset: elevation, ambition, and believing in yourself when nobody else does.
Now competing in the Orbit Group Finals, Sanders is chasing the $50,000 grand prize with a much bigger goal in mind: opening his own venue in Lawrence, Kansas, creating a home where local and independent artists can perform, network, create, and grow.
For Markcus Sanders, this is bigger than winning money. It’s about building a platform, creating opportunities, and putting Lawrence, Kansas, on the map.
