M.A.D. Mike was born, Michael E Robinson Jr, in New Orleans, LA on September 16, 1991. Parented by two eclectic gospel performers in the city of blues, M.A.D. was a natural with his voice and when it came to playing instruments at a young age. Later, after the passing of his father, he picked up rapping and producing other styles of music and was quickly known as “the dude who can create anything”. He invited the claim saying “I was always expecting a challenge.” At the age of 18 M.A.D. met Dj. Strech who serves as CFO of his label I.T.M. (In Time Music) Even though it started as a mere dream of theirs, ten years later there are 13 artist signed to the independent Label: Major, Soulnin9, YardBoiTye, Whitney Michelle, Mu$e, Boss Squad, WondrBoy, NoloTheDon and 1Mack. The crew is steady working and has been said to do their first show as a label in 2020. These days he has mastered the crafts of rapping, singing, producing and engineering, being responsible for most of his label's sound while proving himself time and time again working with various tv series and documentaries, La’Porsha Renae (Motown artist), G. Simone, and most recently was featured on KRS-ONE’s new mixtape entitled “Street Light”. M.A.D. said, "I'm a bit overwhelmed to be welcomed to work with a legend such as KRS, it's incredible. From his knowledge of music to his knowledge of life, he is truly the teacher, I'm honored." http://krsone.bandcamp.com/track/open-your-mind
