Few artists fuse hard rock and electronica so adroitly as musician/engineer Mike San. His award-winning song ‘The Range’ is receiving extensive international FM radio play, seeding a global fan base anxious for more.

Here is a man who - so the proverb goes - walks softly and carries a big stick. Mike San's music alternates between sensitive interludes that bespeak a complex and intriguing personality, and mic-shredding refrains (issued by long-time collaborator Dux) that deliver the damage. Mike grew up with popular music and has been writing his own since age 14. He played guitar in several rock bands through his teenage years and studied transpersonal psychology later - almost certainly a component in the layered messages of his craft. After college he formed a synth-based ambient project called Musical Mandelas that has a growing audience in the online world. In 2014 Mike and Dux released their first single together, the award winning 'The Range', which is receiving significant international FM radio play. He also released a six track EP, ‘Like Water’ and a full length album, ‘The Time’. Mike helps local musicians produce their tracks from his home studio, and the sophistication of his own work suggests he has gained much through this ambition. Reporter Alexis Adams recently caught up with him to learn more about his music and future plans. ALEXIS: When When did you first discover your love of music?
