TMike started making music as a young child but didn’t take it seriously until about 2017. He has released four singles and two albums this year alone, but he has a lot more out and even more ready to go. “Honestly,” he said, “I have a lot of unreleased music. I have enough music right now to release one song a week for the next three years.” So, is that his plan? “Depends on what happens, man. I'm trying to stay relevant. I'm trying to stay ready. I don't want to be caught with my pants down.” Growing up, he listened to hip hop, R&B and gospel. Gospel is still a big part of him. “I grew up in the church,” he said. “I’m a God fearing man. I put God first. Without God, I’m nothing. That’s just the truth on my side.” In college, he was introduced to a lot of different music, country, rock, “a lot of different types.” His music now he calls a “mashup” of everything he has been exposed to, the mainstream music of all kinds around him, how he feels when he goes in to the booth, what’s happening around him, all of it.
