Mike Williams Facts

1. He comes from a musical family and both of his parents play the piano.
2. Mike started taking piano lessons at the age of 4 and was pretty good at it by the age of 6.
3. While taking piano lessons, he had early learned the ability to see, which meant he could play a piece while reading the notation for it.
4. Shortly after learning piano, Mike decided to quit taking lessons and create and play his own songs using a laptop and an amp he bought with savings and his father’s speakers.
5. Mike produced his first dance track as a DJ when he was 12 years old.
6. At the age of 14, Mike was DJing at a 500-person club, after which he was booked by the owner for more gigs.
7. He began his career with self-made bootlegs he posted on SoundCloud, such as Carly Rae Jepsen’s I Really Like You .
8. His debut single Konnichiwa was actually his friend’s idea. The track reminded them both of Japan and was also the only word Mike knew in Japanese.
9. He is fluent in Dutch and English and speaks a little Spanish.
10. According to him, one thing about him that surprises a lot of people is that he’s played volleyball for a very long time.
11. Mike was named an “artist of the future” by his record label Spinnin’ Records .
12. Along with 3 other Dutch DJs, Brooks, Mesto and Justin Mylo, he was considered to be one of the pioneers of the Future Bounce genre, which was a subgenre of the Future House genre.
13. He considers Tiesto and Armin van Buuren to be the most influential DJs since they started the whole movement and popularization of the genre “Dance” and “EDM”.

17. He prefers to produce in his bedroom in the Netherlands, which isn’t big at all because he only needs to attach a monitor and a laptop.
18. His laptop was stolen from his apartment in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in March 2017 after a thief broke in while he was sleeping. Since it was his lifetime achievement as a producer, Mike offered a $2,000 reward but never clarified if he got it back.
