What's Hot
The Mike Posner Show

The singer, songwriter, producer and recent Duke University graduate, self-released two mixtapes and signed a record deal with J Records while still in school. The Detroit native received his diploma from Duke as his song, "Cooler Than Me", was rising on the Billboard charts and he was preparing to hit the road with the Warped Tour. Mike co-wrote and/or co-produced every track on his debut, ‘31 Minutes to Takeoff’.
On his Faction radio show, Mike will play favourite jams and talk about his life as he navigates the best-selling music charts and his newfound popularity. "It is going to be so fun to document what happens in my life in such a refreshing manner. Plus, I can't wait to show people all the cool music they've been missing. My show is going to have the best playlist ever!" – Mike Posner
