Bio

Making two of the year's most talked-about, genre-defying mix tapes is never easy – especially not if you're doing it in your dorm room in the middle of the night, with homework piling up, friends banging on your door and the campus police barging in to shut down the noise you're making.
 
Mike Posner, the producer/singer, just finished his last class at Duke University and graduated with the rest of his class in May 2010.
 
The 22-year-old – who first emerged on his dorm-born mixtape “A Matter of Time,” released in March on iTunesU is set to drop his first album “31 Minutes to Take Off” August 10th  on J Records.
 
“I'm doing something nobody else can do or has done yet, and I'm blessed to be signed to a label and [have finished] school,” he says, his hushed voice tinged with a sense of wonder and a preternatural honesty. “A lot of people in my position would think I've worked within this box, and I have to recreate what I've already done. But I'm already so much better than I was when I made my mixtape.” He promises: “The album is going to be nuts.”
