Why this name?
I'd always been searching for a good stage name... I went through a lot of stages with my name... but then I finally found one I could really call myself and feel like it really fits me personally.
Do you play live?
I don't yet. I just started. I'm trying to get my feet wet but I've got a bright future in a lot more than just rap alone... I also am a baseball player who might be looking a scholarship this year.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It puts a new face on it. A brand new group of people are able to get involved with the music industry now. Almost anyone can record, produce, and put their music on the internet now-a-days. It's really interesting because their is a lot of business centered around the internet and mp3's. Big names companies are getting on it and are making even more money because of it. So it helps the heavy hitters along with the people just starting out who might want a piece in the industry.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I would if a good one came to me... I'm not stupid. I'm a young businessman, and I know when I see a good deal.
Band History:
Magic Mike is a new artist with talent, vision, and a bright future.
Your influences?
Magic Mike's influences come from all around him. He likes to take a step back, and just absorb the environment. Take in the fresh air and take life one breath at a time. In his troubled past growing up he experienced a lot of grief in school. He always suffered from harrassment, and almost went to the point of insanity because of verbal, physical, and abuse from the administrators of high school in his freshman year. His sophmore year he got transfered to Southside High School, which he fell in love with. Even though it was rocky at the start, he found his way to becoming a part of the school. He's been on the Southside track and cross country, and baseball teams. He's just finished up Cross Country season and has an off-season to really work on baseball. He's in the process of becoming a really great ball player thanks to his coach Scott French. His chances have just increased to not only be one of the better players in the sectional, but also in the state. His music inspirations come from big names such as Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony, Tupac, Twista, Dr. Dre, and Nelly, along with Kanye West. Magic Mike wants to always keep it real like legends from the past. As things are going along. he very much wants to make people who become fans of him happy.
Favorite spot?
I've been to many places across the country. My favorite city would have to be either L.A or Seattle. My favorite spot would have to be Glacier National Park, in Montana.
Equipment used:
A recording booth that is loaded with a very good microphone... very good sound accoustics, along with a really good board to put the sound through.
