88. Mike Osei | Harvard Grad Turned Music Artist Talks Newest Single, Going Viral on IG, and Reveals Marketing Strategy

In the latest episode of the Smokey Mirror Podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with up-and-coming artist, Mike. The story of how we connected is as serendipitous as it gets. I met Mike at his brother Dave’s wedding in St. Louis last weekend. Dave, being my frat brother, meant I had to make the trip to support and celebrate his marriage!

During the festivities, another one of my frat brothers mentioned that Dave's brother Mike was not only an artist but a really talented one. Intrigued, I followed Mike on Instagram and planned to check out his music later. Little did I know, I'd get a taste of his talent sooner than expected.

At the wedding reception, one of Mike's songs played, and the energy in the room was electric. I knew I had to connect with him. After the song, I went over to him, dapped him up, and invited him to be on my podcast if he was ever in Miami. To my surprise, he told me that he and his girlfriend were actually going to be in Miami that very week! The odds were unbelievable, and we quickly set a date to make the podcast happen.

Join us for this episode where Mike shares his journey in music, his inspirations, and what it means to be an artist on the rise. It’s an episode with great insights, great vibes, and the power of music. Don’t miss it!
