Read the Michael Phase Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I’m a 23-year-old Electronic Music Producer & DJ from New York City. I love to make music, play video games, create art (whether it’s dancing or painting) and sharing as much knowledge as possible through my YouTube channel. I’ve also released on labels like Headhunterz (HARDwithSTYLE), Armada’s sublabel 2-Dutch, Geck-o’s (The Funky Cat), Dutch Master Works, Harsh Records, and many more.

How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
My influences, in the beginning, was mostly Dr.Dre, NWA, Timbaland, Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Linkin Park, Slipknot, Nas, Eric Prydz, Above & Beyond, Paul van Dyk. Since I live in New York, I’m lucky enough to experience a whole range of sound and culture. Now my influences range from KSHMR, Hans Zimmer, Junkie XL, Skrillex, 30 Seconds to Mars, to even Kendrick Lamar, Noisecontrollers, and several other artists in different genres. It’s amazing really, and I’m glad that I have an open mind to a lot of genres of music.
What´s new right now?
At the moment, I have a lot of releasing going coming up for 2018. I’ve been working on some new sound banks, making tutorials, and providing feedback to upcoming producers on my YouTube channel to help out the community. My main focus at the moment, however, is working on my first artist album and finding a proper artist management team to help me take these plans to the next level. A lot of my fans consider me a Hardstyle/Hard Dance artist but if you listen closely to my music, I’m actually more than that. I’m a product of my environment and my aim to showcase that as much as possible. This album will define me in a way I’ve never imagined, which means a lot of these songs are about my life here in America. I’m experimenting with a wide range of sounds and recording stereo fields outside in my neighborhood to create an experience no one has heard of from me. I’m really excited about this project, and I look forward to sharing this process through my upcoming vlogs on my YouTube Channel.
There’s more to come but for now, you guys are aware that there is an album coming up hopefully for 2019 and plenty of singles, remixes, and big collaborations for 2018. Lastly, I’d like to mention that I finally made my very own website. I will be uploading as much content as humanly possible and I hope that my fans continue to see that from me. I love them and it’s not a phase.
