Social media and Youtube influencer

Mikhail Williams is a social media and Youtube influencer. His passion for music started in Grade 4, he use
to be a shy person in school. He also started singing in church at a talent show when people started 
saying he should give it a try as becoming a performer. First he did not want to, but he than gave it a chance and everyone told him 
he should use his talent. Than he started singing everywhere, where he got the chance. He thinks music 
helped him heal because he lost his father and music helped him through those times like that. 

He says music makes him happy, if he did not have music he would not have healed and he used music to
communicate his talent. He has written over 50/60 songs and most of them are sad songs, which he did 
not try to do intensely. But his new song will be upbeat but the words are sad. He believes lyrical content is important so that people can relate to his music. 




He hates listening to music that does not have meaning and when people listen to his music he want people to say
they went through the same thing. What makes his music authentic is that he sings what and writes and 
non of his songs sounds the same. Everything that he has done is very different from each other, his music
goes from electric pop to hip hop. He does not want people to be like "another Mikhail song". In the 
beginning he did not deal with criticism well, he thought everyone would like his music but he started 
thinking realistically and thought not everyone will like his music. He deals well with criticism and he uses
it to improve his music. He did not receive any vocal training, he has been writing for years. He started with covers and he sat at home watching 
videos so that he could improve his craft. He started writing since primary school and he has been singing 
covers songs but this now he started singing his own music so that people will not only say he is a cover artist or he is the funny guy. He wanted to show people even though he is 16-years-old, he can do 
whatever he puts his mind to. When he released ''I Am Sorry'' this here, his song played on the radio
and people started liking it that is when he thought he wants to release more music. He learned to love
his songs because it is his and what made him love it is that he wrote it himself and it is own sound.
