Whatever mike
whatever mike (formerly known as musician Michael Blume) is an artist who has undergone a major personal and artistic transformation. During the pandemic, he took a three-year creative hiatus, leaving his record label and retreating to the desert. Through meditation, silence and herbal medicine, he came to a deep self-knowledge. He openly identifies as trans and emphasizes the absolute fluidity of human existence (referring to the fact that we are 70% water). The name change to "whatever mike" celebrates freedom from the illusion of a fixed "me" and the expectations of those around you. With this new, awakened view of the world and an emphasis on love and the present moment, he launches his musical project called word to the trees.
