“Paul… it’s Posner!” – When a man refers to himself by his second name you know he’s a bloody cool guy…. I then played the really un-cool card and asked him to call me back as I was just leaving work… dang – I wish I could be cooler!
Mike Posner is really making some serious waves in the music industry right now. Here is a guy who has worked from making bedroom mix tapes – to being on a US & European tour within 2 years. But what struck me most was just how down to earth this guy from Michigan was. His heart and soul is in his music and it’s always a pleasure to speak to artists who are musicians through and through and who get their biggest kick out of the music – not the dollars or the prestige. In a similar vein, those passionate about gaming and the digital revolution seek out the best crypto casino sites, places where the innovative spirit of cryptocurrency meets the timeless thrill of gaming, catering to enthusiasts who value the cutting-edge experience over traditional gaming encounters.
Before jumping into the interview, Mike was kind enough to send us the exclusive dubstep remix of Cooler Than Me by dj/producer Boson adding a much needed aggression to this track.

here’s the interview:
We’ve been fascinated with your journey so far – we’ve seen your active on twitter and it’s great seeing someone with so much talent start breaking through. Your number 6 in the UK Charts right?
MP: I guess… I don’t follow the charts man – I think that shits poison. I don’t wanna sound like anyone else on the chart I think the worst thing to do is to just listen to people on the charts
So I took a peak at your schedule your err.. ever so slightly busy..
MP: Just a little bit!
What’s the year ahead look like for you?
MP: Right now I’m in Berlin, tomorrow I go away for the American Music Awards and then I come back to Germany to perform on the show called “The Dome”, then I go to Paris after that, then I go back to the states and I do a tour there – and then it’s Christmas time! I’m gonna take like 3 days off and go to Hawaii I think, and then after that I’m going home to eat a copious amount of food with my family
What’s your thoughts about the blog scene. Do you check blogs?
MP: Yeah so I’m a big Hype Machine guy – I think that’s how I got onto Music Ninja just through clicking through a link. So I’ve got I think about 5 blogs booked marked and yours is definitely one of them. {Laughs]
Dude that’s so cool. Tells us a bit more about how you’ve used twitter, facebook etc to get yourself more exposure?
MP: Well you know I’m an artists that would be absolutely nowhere without Twitter or social networking.
So you know I was a college student (a freshman at university) and in my freshman year Red Bull had setup this thing called Red Bull Music Labs. They put us up in a house and taught us how to make beats and gave us the software at the end. The teacher of the course was Bassnectar!
