  • Bio

    from manila,to arizona, now in baltimore! the name mic freak was never really intended to be used as an artist name.it was an email address that mic used as an alias in joining egroups.joining electronica manila mailing list, people started calling him mic freak so to avoid confusion and the trouble of thinking of an artist name mic freak was born. music runs in mic's blood.he started learning the violin at 8, the piano at 12 but wasnt that happy in playing tradional music.he learned the guitar, bass and keyboard during his high school years and joined several new wave bands.his college years was a different trip, he joined an r&b band and played keyboards.playing other artists songs wasn't mic's calling so he started searching for a new musical direction and eventually found a road that lead to electronica after watching the movie "the saint" by val kilmer which featured the chemical brothers' track "the setting sun".listening to artists like omd,depache mode and new order in his teens, mic easily understood how electronic music could be produced so he bought a pc and learned about midi w/ cakewalk v6. mic freak's sound is so much influenced by the chemical brothers.heavy beats and crunchy guitar lines make up most of his tracks.you'll be surprised by how he integrates melody and harmony among the chaos his music makes. .. .. ..MyGen.. ..Profile Generator.. .. ..............
