About Like Mike
Michael Thivaios, better known to a global fan base as Like Mike, is one half of the world’s #1 ranked DJ duoDimitri Vegas & Like Mike. During a journey that spans over 15 years, Mike has achieved a staggering number of career highs.
Throughout his career, Like Mike has accrued #1 singles in a multitude of countries. His 2016 single The Hum with his brother, Dimitri Vegas, went platinum, and ‘Higher Place’ with Ne-Yo secured the #1 Billboard Dance Chart position. The single was the first record from the Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike catalogue that featured Mike as both a vocalist and songwriter. From producing the iconic sounds behind Mammoth to writing and singing on ‘Higher Place,’ Like Mike has shown his diverse creative abilities to his fans time and time again.
The brothers then collaborated with Wiz Khalifa for the hit record ‘When I Grow Up,’ and their 2017 summer smash ‘Complicated’ with David Guetta and Kiiara has amassed over 131 million streams on Spotify so far, along with more than 77 million YouTube views. The all-star line-up of David Guetta, Afro Bros, Daddy Yankee and Natti Natasha on one of the biggest songs of the summer of 2019, ‘Instagram’, has amassed over 42 million YouTube views with more than 134 million streams on Spotify.
More recently, Like Mike released his first solo album, ‘Pain, Love, & What Comes After,’ containing songs completely written, produced, and sung by him as well as tracks with major features like world superstar Lil Baby, Smokepurpp, Blueface, and Wifisfuneral. The 15-song album perfectly flows between songs, creating a pensive story of love, pain, and everything in between.
Mike’s project grew from his need to dig deeper into the sounds of his early years and young adulthood, a blend of genres that were the soundtrack to his life. His younger years were a period during which he explored his musical creativity. Singing and songwriting were the first steps into his musical career, even before producing the numerous hits with his brother that lead up to today. Mike had already written countless songs before the age of 15. “Music has always guided me through life,” he says. “Any moment can be intensified through music: moods can be changed, stories can be told, feelings become timeless, and memories can be solidified.”
Teaming up with masked maestro and fellow DJ Mag Top 100 artist Claptone on ‘Right Into You’ feat. Grammy-nominated indie artist Mansionair, Like Mike yet again flexed his capabilities beyond dancefloor rupturing EDM anthems. ‘Right Into You’ was a well-received ambient floor-filler that blurred the boundaries of indie-pop and house with its powerful synths, romanticising lyrics and effervescent chorus.
As a global ambassador for Tomorrowland and position as one of the official mainstage residents for the festival and being the anointed ‘Kings of Tomorrowland’, Like Mike, alongside his brother, has also topped the billing at every major event in the dance music world from EDC Las Vegas to EXIT festival and Electric Zoo NY to Creamfields, whilst featuring at iconic club venues that include Amnesia, Ministry of Sound, Green Valley and Ushuaïa Ibiza. While their annual homecoming show ‘Bringing the Madness’ arena shows are another demonstration of their clout with over 80,000 tickets selling out for the 4 nights in under an hour.
Now with his latest dance release, ‘Desire,’ Like Mike gives fans a taste of what is to come in his solo career. The song is completely written, produced, and sung by Mike, putting his creative abilities on full display. Having already debuted the song in his first solo set in Las Vegas, Tomorrowland Winter and Tomorrowland with praise from fans, Like Mike is sure to drop even more hits after ‘Desire.’
Boasting an almighty catalogue of solo releases alongside growing independent record label Green Roomand forming one half of the world’s top EDM duo, Like Mike can now be seen scoring solo headline slots from Tomorrowland to Area 51 Las Vegas to Mykonos’ No.1 superclub VOID, with more party announcements sure to come.
