Diving Deep w/ Mike’s Revenge and Indigenous 

1. How did you decide to get into making music? Was there a certain event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?

It all started back in college when I started DJ’ing house parties, I began to find my love for music through performing and seeing everyones reactions to stuff that I had made. -Mike’s Revenge
I competed in a ton of sports growing up and I used music as a motivational tool. Eventually, I figured out that I could create my own mix of my favorite songs to take to the gym with me. The hype and high energy from Electronic Music would always lift me up and carry me through a bad day. I suppose I have always had a natural talent as an entertainer, however the desire to pursue a career in music comes from a deep love for the art form and a desire to share music with others.- Indigenous

2. What has been a personal career struggle that you have battled with the most and how has it helped mold your character for the better good presently?

This biggest career struggle would be comparing myself to others, I feel that it has hindered me at times, but also provided me with the drive to get better at my craft.- Mike’s Revenge
The branding identity is a tough one for sure, to stand out both audibly and visually enough to become a self-realized artist. Finding those truly novel ideas from any source is a very tough practice to try and get good at. I found myself looking deeper into my own heritage of music growing up, taking the hymns and drumbeats from my ancestors, and trying to bring those elements into my realm of music has truly allowed me to become whole with my art project. – Indigenous
3. What has been the biggest difference you’ve noticed when first starting off as an artist vs now after experience playing events, doing releases etc?

The quality of music and mixing has only improved since the first event that I’ve performed at. -Mike’s Revenge

The quality of releases and technical skills are the biggest differences from now and then, back then I would just throw some stuff together and hope someone would listen, now I try to have a theme, commissioned artwork, and proper marketing strategy. We are still improving on all those things, but the difference is night and day when I consider the first starting point to this point in time. -Indigenous

4. What has been the biggest lesson you’ve learned since you started making music? Do you have any words of wisdom for aspiring producers hoping to follow in your footsteps?

Stay on your path and do what you love. For some people it takes months, for some it takes year. Trust and enjoy the process. -Mike’s Revenge
You learn a lot of tough lessons pursuing your passion in any market, it helps to be coachable, open to new ideas, and able to understand criticism. Not everyone is going to be positive or have positive things to say, developing tough skin is a great way to be more resilient when things seem stagnant or slow going. Having a positive mind set and a willingness to help others will take you further than any industry tip or trick will. Invest in authenticity and be patient, great things take time. Enjoy the journey and find something to be grateful for. -Indigenous
