<p>Christian Clancy, <a href="/profile/MacMiller" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Mac Miller</a>&#8217;s manager, started working with the artist in 2013. He was impressed by his musical talents and even more enamored with Malcolm&#8217;s personality. Clancy has paid tribute to the late Miller in an op-ed published by <em>The Guardian</em>, in which he highlights both Mac&#8217;s musicality and his persona.</p>
<p>Clancy specifies the artist&#8217;s drive, stating, &#8220;He had money and success but he craved importance: the ability to show depth, to cement a legacy.&#8221; Miller was on his way to pursuing this desire as he planned to take &#8220;Swimming&#8221; on the road and share a holistic experience with his fans.</p>
<p>&#8220;He was about to go on tour with <a href="/profile/thundercat" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Thundercat</a> and J.I.D with a superstar band. He knew he was at his best and most comfortable with a band and couldn&#8217;t wait to show his fans who he now was and the direction he was fully leaning into.&#8221;</p>

<p>According to Clancy, the rapper was in a good place before he passed away. They had been in touch just 2 days before the tragic day.</p>
<p>&#8220;He was very open about his struggles throughout his career, but he had been fully focused and engaged. He knew the progress he had made, battling his internal dialogue – it wasn’t easy, but he was doing it and feeling the rewards. &#8220;</p>
