Mike Paski is a Michigan-based indie artist whose music is rooted in honesty, reflection, and the emotional weight of early 2000s emo. Originally from Grand Ledge, he discovered his connection to music at 17—a spark that has followed him through every phase of life.

While his twenties were marked by chaos and personal challenges, music remained a constant. In his thirties, as he worked to rebuild and find clarity, that same passion evolved into a more focused creative outlet—one shaped by growth, resilience, and self-awareness.

Drawing influence from artists like Dashboard Confessional, Something Corporate, Bright Eyes, and Brand New, Mike blends raw lyricism with introspective storytelling to create a distinctly indie sound. A defining moment came when he first heard Konstantine—a track that solidified his desire to write music that feels deeply personal and enduring.

Rather than following a strict routine, Mike’s creative process is driven by instinct. When life begins to feel disconnected or lacking meaning, songs emerge as a way to restore it—whether that takes a week, a month, or even a year. That unpredictability gives his music an unfiltered, lived-in quality.

His latest release, Bricks, reflects that ongoing process—capturing the tension between past struggles and the steady work of moving forward, one piece at a time.
