If someone could live in the intersection of a Venn diagram representing R&B, gospel, folk and pop, that’s likely where Mikey would make his home. In fact, it is the space between genres, fields, and environments where Mikey has found comfort. His church-influenced, science-immersed, art-filled, culturally-overlapping background has provided him with a unique perspective on the world, informing his mantra: music is medicine. Drawing comparisons to soulful heavy-hitters like Stevie Wonder, Allen Stone and Leon Bridges, Mikey has crafted his own sonic signature featuring intentional melodies and lyrics that reflect the unique complexities of existing in the 21st century. This is best exemplified by his sophomore EP, ‘beautiful life’, which is set to be released in May 2024. Mikey’s pen has touched songs that have streamed a combined 5 million+ times over his short tenure releasing music. Mikey‘s live shows pack a punch of powerful vocals and high energy, most recently exhibited on his 2023 mini tour across Canada and Japan’s major hubs. He has opened for Lawrence, Mamas Gun, and Giacomo Turra, and has "brought the house down" at local and international music festivals, such as Rifflandia and NXNE (Virgin Radio Vancouver). Mikey is also a PhD Candidate pursuing research in music neuroscience and teaches university-level psychology. If any of his students sees this, he wants them to know that their prof is cooler than their other profs ;)
