MIKE-E a.k.a Mike-Dash-E
Three years ago Mike-E or Mike-Dash-E began writing as a serious lyricist; but music has always been his passion, beginning in his B-boy days. Originally from the Philippines he immigrated to the United States at the age of four. Although he is now living in Concord, California he “reps†the 945472, Smallzville, California “extended family,†a community from where he has been raised at since the 80’s.
Not only is he inspired by the Smallzville Camp, he is greatly influenced by his UnorthaknoXX Family (Producers: Rommel Fernando, Louie Nubla) and the Duece-One group consisting of Yun Ron, Rich & Famous, and Mike-Dash-E; in which he is still currently in the works with for future mixtapes, and the Duece-One album. He started his music career with the “UnorthaknoXX Family,†who helped Mike-E realize how serious he should get with his music, and from then on he started his grind working with the “Smallzville Camp†creating hits like “Bounce,†“Off Top,†and “Don’t Turn Your Back;†where he has worked with Rube, Tas, and Beazy. Mike-Dash-E’s struggles in life such as, being solely raised by his mother, abandoned by his father, life in the game, and recently the loss of his Fiance “Meassa Vitug,†has driven his music to a whole new level. These experiences were used to produce his upcoming solo mixtape “Keep it P.I.,†and his soon to come anticipated album “Neva be a Victim.†With his music Mike-Dash-E hopes to reach all people of all genre and nationality; he is definitely a star on the rise and something for the future.
