About Mike

Mike Grebb has been writing, producing and performing music almost his entire life. His songs tackle everything from the absurdity of modern life to the need for everyone to find their own path, always tinged with enough sarcasm and humor to annoy the masses.

It’s no mistake that he lives in Los Angeles, the land of oddball artists and joyful misfits whose collective insanity fuels everything you love.

A short history of Grebb

Mike first picked up a guitar at 15 and immediately failed to take it seriously. “I hated practicing,” he says. “I took lessons to learn all of the chords and scales, but I was always going off on tangents, trying to create my own music rather than stick to the practice exercises.”

Within a year he had written half a dozen songs and formed a high-school band with a couple of friends. On top of hideous U2 and R.E.M. covers, Mike slipped a few of his own songs into the set. “We were the typical garage band,” he says. “I sang through a 10-watt guitar amp. It was bad. We only played a couple of parties. But I noticed that people didn’t run screaming from the room, so I took that as a good sign.”

After college, Mike moved to Washington, D.C. “I worked briefly at the Improv comedy club doing graphic design and promotional work,” he recalls. “I wrote a couple of parody songs and let one of the managers hear them as a joke. He invited me to join a comedy troupe and perform them live.” Open mics followed, then paid solo acoustic and band gigs, new material and new styles. After a run of home demos, Mike worked with award-winning producer Marco Delmar at Recording Arts in Falls Church, Virginia, on his 2004 alternative rock album, Resolution, which garnered many positive reviews.

In 2011 Mike moved to Los Angeles, kept writing, and honed his producing and engineering chops just as recording technology was putting studio-quality sound within reach of anyone stubborn enough. Armed with a microphone, a couple of guitars and some powerful software, he produced Levitate (2021), which mixes multiple genres but stays grounded in his singer-songwriter roots. “Some of these mixes are pretty elaborate,” he says. “But every one of these songs started with just me and an acoustic guitar. In the end, all that matters is the songwriting.”

Mike finished building MusicLaunch™ in late 2026 and is already using it to plan the release of his new album, coming in early 2027.
