Mike a.k.a Mike Pearl was born in Moscow, Russia. Mike's love for music manifested itself very early: he started playing drums and guitar when he was a child. In 1995, Mike moved to Israel. He decided to pursue his education in a music school, where he studied piano and played in a small jazz band. But in 1997, Mike's life changed drastically and irreversibly. A friend offered him to listen to a trance CD. Mike was instantly hypnotized by the record, and fell in love with the electronic music. He quit the music school and bought two sherwood turntables, which weren't as good as technics, but Mike thought they were excellent for the beginning. In 1998, Mike started playing on private parties, as well as in small clubs in Jerusalem: Campus, Fine, Haoman 17, the 2nd room. At that time, the style of Mike's music can be described as uplifting trance, but with the development of Mike's skills and tastes, it had changed to progressive & vocal house. At the end of 1998, Mike focused on production; he was working with the yamaha psrxx and a pc, equiped with cubase 5. Mike's track was soon playing on a famous radio station. In 2002, Mike moved to the United States, settled in Brooklyn and started a new page of his journey.
