Meet Mikey MIA | Music Artist & Producer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Mikey MIA and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mikey, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Always remaining authentic through it all & also being able to stay down with putting in the work necessary even when the results aren’t being seen right away or the light not being shined on you at the moment. For me personally there’s a certain hunger that I feel that’s never satiated & I strive to make sure any type of work I bring is better than my last.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Listening to my music I feel it is raw as it can possibly be. With my music comes great energy and healing , a safe place for people going through traumatic experiences and hard times . A space where you can release yourself and join others to escape from whatever is troubling you. A place to be equal. I also make music for people who are in a good headspace and just want music they can relate too or set a mood . My vision all started In a Basement where I was learning & making beats in 2017. While creating melodies and laying down chords I wanted to make sure any emotion that I was feeling on that day or moment was heard out loud & from my sense of ambition the energy on the drums and bass would always speak volumes. Once those things were created the only thing left was too say what was on my mind …. then MikeyMIA was created. Nothing is easy or guaranteed when it comes too music & the music industry. What keeps me going is my passion for my music . I honestly can’t picture me doing anything else. This is therapy for me.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
When being from Miami there is nothing that you literally can’t do . We got the beautiful beaches , great food , A diverse culture and different ethnicities. From Wynwood to Fort Lauderdale is a great setting for food & excursions.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Definitely shoutout to my Team ! I’m nothing without them and my supporters . The endless hours of work with creating these sounds & records is my job to make sure it does not go unnoticed. I appreciate the ones who are believing in what we are doing as a whole . I want to give a special shoutout to the Stellaboys who had a hand on my work and contributed with production & Mixing records . Kjsh00ts & Peterdarkur Productions been with me from the very beginning of my career with assisting me on visuals & striving to accomplish the same visions that I’m aligned with when it comes to my music.
