1OAK Mickey is a 26 year old artist hailing from Montgomery County, Maryland. He started creating music at 14 years old, after making fun of another rapper who challenged him to make something better. Before writing that first song, he was unaware of the talent he would soon release unto the world. 1OAK's biggest influences are Lil Peep, Shy Glizzy, Lil Durk and A$AP Rocky, so it is no surprise to see where he got his mellow lyrical sound from. Rapping over instrumentals that are a contrasting mash-up of upbeat ambient pop and emo trap, Mickey’s poetic lyrics are designed to connect with his audience on a deeper level. He is not simply telling a story, but creating a joint experience as he treats the studio like his personal diary.
