MMYYKK
MMYYKK (pronounced "Mike") is a multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter and producer hailing from San Bernardino CA, and currently residing in Minneapolis MN. MMYYKK's eclectic and forward thinking sound situates itself at the intersections of Soul, Jazz, Electro and R&B; blending analog synthesis and neck breaking rhythms amalgamated with sonic alchemy. His musical explorations center themselves in themes of love, humanity, healing, and higher consciousness. He is also 1/4th of the psychedelic funk collective astralblak, and 1/4th of the space jazz collective The BlackBeat Theory.
Despite being a multi-instrumentalist / vocalist / producer & engineer, we can still hear the richness of musical experimentation and improvisation involved in the making of his records, with numerous cameos from artists in MMYYKK’s hometown of Minneapolis. This home town, whilst not addressed directly in the lyrics, provided a backdrop like no other whilst his album ‘Science’ was coming together.
Despite the grief prevalent in the city, the EP exudes a complex dopeness, executed so effortlessly it belies the skill involved in the process - it’s precisely this nonchalant cool that defines what SCIENCE means to the artist. Whilst we can dissect the inspirations and trace the lineage of this body of work- the result is singular. It’s clear that Mychal Fisher, aka MMYYKK is operating on his own terms, in a lane of his own - and making it look easy.
