Previously known as Q The Music, the renowned artist has successfully rebranded and now dons the mantle of Michael Q Trucks, bringing with him the same level of genuine talent and powerful lyricism to the music industry. Michael Q Trucks' older works under his previous moniker can now be found under his current catalog containing singles, music videos and EPs credited to the Michael Q Trucks brand.

Once he officially started his own career in the music industry, Michael went by the artist name "Q The Music." Over the course of four years, he released countless singles, music videos and EPs until officially rebranding to Michael Q Trucks in April 2022.
