Back in the mid-2000s I was living in the East Village and working with an up and coming New York recording artist Mikealis. I was producing tracks for him and playing keyboard for his live shows and he started getting some great exposure. After a few great years of playing shows in the Lower East Side, Brooklyn, Midtown, and really everywhere in NYC, Mikealis moved out to Los Angeles and started getting cast for T.V. shows. Luckily, Mikealis never stopped making great music, and I’ve called him in as a feature rapper on lots of clients’ projects.
Finally, I got the chance to produce a new track for Mikealis this last month, and I got Mikealis to come to record in NYC with us. It was a pretty epic recording and mixing session. Mikealis is great to have in the recording studio: he writes on the spot, spits it aggressively the first time, and always brings some fun people with him when he comes, basically a New York recording studio party every time! The new track we’ve been working on is called “Live That Life” and is sure to drop soon. So follow up at his website Mikealis.com to stay in the know and keep an eye/ear out for it.
