Mike’s first love was the drums, before discovering his obsession with recording and production through countless GarageBand experiments on his brother’s laptop.
In his teens, after relocating to Los Angeles, he went from crashing studio sessions to getting invitations to collaborate, and, within a few years, he was writing and recording with Shawn Mendes, Lizzo, Pharrell Williams, J Balvin, Meghan Trainor, and Camila Cabello, to name a few.
Arising from the search of a sound that more accurately captured a new moment in his life, Being Human, an LP different than anything he has worked on before, was born.
The album occupies an organic, lived-in soundspace that could find a home in almost any era of pop music. It is an honest time capsule of an uncompromising and formative period in Sabath’s life.
Being Human skates across emotions and moments in Sabath’s life, careening toward the larger truth that we are all in love with each other, whether we realize it or not.
“We’re all human. We don’t feel the exact same shit, but we feel very similar shit. I’ve found right after a moment of immense confusion comes immense clarity,” Sabath adds.
His new single and music video “LIFE” is a raw and cathartic explosion of emotions, providing a vivid journey into the depths of Sabath’s psyche as he undergoes a profound transformation.
He confides, “This record came from a moment of overwhelming frustration and loneliness that seemed to crack open the shell of who I was and forced me forward to evolve into the next version of myself.” Gritty guitar riffs, chaotic drums and an undeniable hook create an immersive and intense sonic eruption.
He has come a long way since building that studio in his brother’s backyard, though those same lyrics are still hand scratched onto the wall, just in case he forgets where this all started
