Originally from St. Augustine, FL, Mike aka Cynic was introduced to the piano at age five, and within a year made his solo debut. By the time he got to middle school he picked up the trumpet, and pursued music performance all the way through high school, concentrating on jazz and funk styles. Eventually he discovered the world of electronic dance music and, after a good friend took him to a couple of parties in Atlanta in '99, stumbled upon the sounds of drum and bass. The styles he represents have been described as "subliminimal"; culminating tech, funk, neuro and subversive, to take you on a fantastic ride to the dark side.
