We had the good fortune of connecting with Mike Teezy and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mike, what role has risk played in your life or career?
I feel like in anything you want to succeed in you have to take risks. In 2019, I took the risk of leaving my full-time job to pursue my music career. It was very tough in the beginning, but definitely one of the best decisions I made. I went from making five figures as a full-time assistant branch manager, to making six figures being self employed.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What sets me apart is that I am versatile, I don’t necessarily have a box that my style of music fits in. I can rap,sing, dance, etc. to pretty much any style of music. What’s sets me apart from the others again I believe it’s my versatility, I love music, and the way it makes people feel. The things I am most proud of is my growth this past year, I have hit many milestones that I’m so grateful for. How did I get to where I am today? Consistency, I have stayed constant my whole career, dropping music, staying present, and just never giving up on my dream. Definitely not easy comes with a lot of no’s a lot of trial and error and a lot of faith. Lessons I’ve learned are to keep showing up and remain authentic faithful in everything I do. I believe that is what the people will continue to get from my music, brand, and artistry.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I love shopping and eating mostly. So I we would most likely take them to the mall, then some of my fav food places are like PDQ, this place names goodies a lot of other food places. Im really good at finding good local spots to eat. I also like to be fresh so we may get haircuts at one point.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I’d like to dedicate this shout out to my father, Pastor Michael Tyree. He has recently released his first book entitled ‘Amazing Faith: Above and beyond extraordinary.”
