If I could write you a song

There is no "if" about it,  Mike Posner can definitely write songs!  Of course I have to mention he is from Michigan, another win for Motown.  What a great new artist to pop on the scene. He has been here for a little while, producing some mix tapes, but his chart topping CD "31 minutes to takeoff" came out on August 10th and hit the BillBoard Top 100. 

He recently appeared on the ABC Dick Clark New Years Eve Special and while rocking the charts he also managed to graduate from Duke University with a degree in sociology. Not to shabby for a twenty three year old from the D.  I wonder what else is on his bucket list?

Mike Posner recently came back to Detroit to play at the Filmore on October 16th, the show had a great turnout and was a lot of fun.  One of the opening bands was the Far East Movement, singing their hit song "Like a G6".  The Far East Movement has also landed themselves on an upcoming tour with Rhianna.  I am looking forward to that.

Mike Posner's shows take him out of the country for the next few months, hopefully we will see some show dates in the U.S. soon.
