  • Bio

    In 1997 MikeL Perkins,"in order to find true self-expression", started writing and recording his own music in his parents garage and playing every instrument, naming the project Maklak. With extreme passion and dedication from an early age; MikeL is a young man with wisdom and experience beyond his years. Besides teaching himself over 9 instruments, he also developed a unique writing style with strong dynamics and hard timing shifts. By the age of 18 he had already: recorded 3 studio albums, played/booked/setup hundreds of concerts including three tours, received press and radio exposure, and much more. Nearing the rise of Maklak from a side-project to a full fledged act, MikeL moved from Whidbey Island to Seattle and continued to push himself in every direction including: starting a successful music teaching business, getting endorsed by drum company "Thumper Custom drums", co-founding an indie label, opening for HR (Bad Brains), and even getting his name in the Guinness book of world records! After 13 years since the spawning of Maklak, MikeL is vulnerably unleashing himself on the music scene in a fierce way. Battling a failing economy and theft of instruments, Maklak managed three independent tours in the first 2 years. Studio time at Seattle's Soundhouse Studios was set to complete the first official debut album released worldwide Sept 12th 2010. With MikeL and his live band's entertaining and high-energy performances; music fan's will want to check the band's often busy show schedule to see when Maklak will be stopping by your town!

    Send this to everyone... The Banks have taken over our govenment. Please do your research because there's very little hope that we'll ever pull away from this recession. May God save our economy..Inform yourself with knowledge.
