With over a quarter of a century's experience in creating, performing and promoting music, Leicester-born Mikie Blak life is driven by a passion for music that has burned within him since he was a child. Releasing his first record at age 16, Mikie Blak started his music career as a local rap artist, who then evolved into an accomplished Rnb/Soul vocalist after relocating on his own to London, age 17, eduring hardships such as sleeping rough on the streets and managers, producers and record labels promising fame and fortune with little delivery. Mikie Blak set about adding to his vocal and songwriting abilities, teaching himself guitars, music composition & production, running a live band and promoting events to independently further his career. This led to his debut groundbreaking Neo-Soul album, live TV performances on the BBC, the founding of one of London's top Soul/Funk bands, and successes in the R&B/Soul, Drum 'n' Bass and Soulful House genres. After graduating DMU with a Music Technology & Innovation Degree in 2019, Mikie Blak has established StudioBlak Studios and StudioBlak Records, with 5 releases to date!
