Stereo Mike is an award-winning rap artist (1st MTV Best Greek Act winner), who also holds a doctorate in hip-hop musicology. He has been nominated for multiple VMAs and an MTV Europe Music Award. Mike’s self-produced album, Xli3h, has been included in the 30 Best Greek hip-hop albums of all time and he is the first Greek artist to ever perform at SXSW festival. Under his Stereo Mike alias, he’s produced three critically-acclaimed solo albums, and numerous singles for international artists on labels such as EMI, Sony, Universal and Warner Music. On the academic side, Mike has led programmes in recording, mixing, mastering and production at various UK institutions, designed the first university-level hip-hop production degree in the UK, and published extensively with Routledge, Bloomsbury Academic, and the journals of Popular Music, Popular Music Studies and Popular Music Education. He is now the Creative Director of RT60, a music innovation company specialising in intelligent apps (you can hear his sounds in the libraries of Songzap!) Stereo Mike’s latest book-plus-album dual release combines his parallel passions into a large piece of work, pursuing Hip Hop’s sample-based aesthetic beyond licensing ultimata, and offering the international beat-making community a blueprint for creative freedom alongside hours of relentless beats.
