I started this decade by getting dropped from a major label and moving to LA where I didn’t know anyone. I found community in a group weirdos that would change my life forever. At the time we were all artists in various points in our journeys trying to find our way and what we found was each other. I remember being backstage at the 1st or 2nd @rootspicnic in Philly interviewing @macmiller so happy to be there not knowing that a year or 2 later I would be playing that same venue in my hometown in front of 10,000 ppl performing a love letter about Philly I wrote with my brothers @djvice and @gladiusjames Artistically I’ve grown so much this past 10 years. I learned how to lean into my experiences and channel them in my work. I wrote a song about what I thought was a one night stand that ended up being a long-lasting relationship with the love of my life and that song was my first billboard charting record “Summerthing!” It peaked at #3 on the dance charts, 27 at top 40 radio and snagged a VMA nod! That was also another first for me as well as my first televised award show/red carpet.
I spent this past decade around some incredibly smart and talented ppl that gave me so much wisdom throughout the years. So many amazing highs, as well as some unbelievable lows. One of the highest points for me though was truly coming into my own skin and celebrating my queerness publicly. I was never closeted, however, people who know me know that I am very lowkey and keep my private life to myself. But as my activism grew in my life as well as my music it was only right to walk in my truth and be that example for the younger me who never had someone who looked like him that he could identify with. So when I got invited to perform songs I wrote at SF pride in front of over 40,000 people time slowed down and I leaned into that moment on stage thanking myself, damn Mike look how far you’ve come and I can’t wait to see where you’re going. I would end this by telling you all the things I have in store for the future by like my big bro @STERLINGSPOV says “less announcements, more wins.” Imma show you better than I can tell you. See you next decade.
