Singer Mike Posner launched his career at Duke University, where he balanced his undergraduate studies in sociology and business with his musical habits. Posner began making melodic pop-rap songs for the college crowd, filling his music with references to fraternity culture, dorm life, and young adulthood. He also compiled several mixtapes, one of which - A Matter Of Time - topped the iTunesU charts during the summer of 2009. After signing with J Records, he finished his degree, graduated with a 3.59 GPA, and released his full-length debut, 31 Minutes To Takeoff, in the summer of 2010. The album featured the worldwide hit "Cooler Than Me". J Records would dissolve soon after and Posner was bumped up to the parent label, RCA, but only after some legal wrangling which was referenced in the title to his 2011 mixtape, The Layover. His career with RCA would begin officially late that same year with the release of "Looks Like Sex". Mike's next new single will release in June 2013, and soon after his sophomore album will be coming out!

Check out a mural of the Finally Famous crew Mike Posner, SayItAintTone, Earlly Mac, and Big Sean! It’s still in the process of being painted by an artist on a wall in Detroit, MI off of Dexter Avenue & Waverly Street, right near W. Davison Street. I cannot wait to see a photo of the mural once it’s completely done! Maybe even all 4 of the guys will go see it themselves together once it’s finished and take a photo with it. I really hope so!
