DETERMINEDTo Succeed

Larry Ford, better known as Mr. Determined, founder of Determined Entertainment Group, LLC, is a boundary-pushing force in the worlds of music, production, and photography. Born with an ear for rhythm and an eye for beauty, Larry’s journey began in a small town where creativity flowed through his veins from an early age. By his teens, he was composing beats on a hand-me-down drum machine and capturing raw, unfiltered moments with a vintage 35mm camera. As a musician and producer, Larry’s signature style is a fusion of gritty authenticity and polished precision. He’s the mastermind behind chart- topping tracks that have redefined genres, collaborating with global icons while maintaining a vibe distinctly his own. His studio sessions are legendary-often described as a mix of chaos and genius — where his unorthodox techniques bring out the best in every artist he works with. But Larry’s artistry doesn’t stop at sound. As a photographer, he captures the soul of his subjects in ways that words cannot describe. From intimate portraits of music legends to surreal landscapes that feel like dreamscapes, his photographs are as emotive as his beats. Larry’s dual artistry came to life in his breakout project, Synesthetic Frequencies, an immersive exhibit blending live music and photography.
