Mikey, now touring with Samara Joy, shared his thoughts on having performed at the Grammys and what he values about his time at MSM.

Mikey: I’m so lucky to have had the honor of performing at the Grammys with Samara Joy. Playing for and meeting some of my biggest idols made for an unforgettable weekend. Also watching one of my close friends win the Best New Artist award was a surreal experience.
Mikey: Leading up to the event, the band had been on the road for a bit, so we had no formal rehearsal before the event. We’ve been playing together so much that we were able to go straight to soundcheck and then perform at the ceremony.

Mikey: I’m so lucky to have had some amazing gigs with the band. In February, we performed at Dizzy’s Club and Cafe Bohemia. We also performed on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, which was incredible. I’ll be heading to Europe for two weeks with Samara and the band for some concerts!

Mikey: MSM has given me the opportunity to study with the great Buster Williams who has taught me so much during my time here. Mr. Williams has played with all the great jazz singers and has given me advice that I’ll think about every time I pick up a bass.
