Mike Scala, preparing his second world tour, never settles for second. “You don’t always win, but life is a race against yourself, he said. “If your pace is challenging, you can rest with no regrets.”
Nothing comes easy as an independent. Mike’s challenge is in looking beyond sight, and focusing his vision on changing the landscape one show, one song , a person at a time. “Every day a blank slate when nothing is promised. It is a chance for a fresh look at your canvas to reimagine the world,” Mike said. “When I put myself on the page, you know you’re seeing the genuine article.”
This relationship with humanity – whether on stage at Greenhouse with Lady Gaga’s personal deejay, DJ VH1, or through founding The Mike Scala Foundation for Youth, or having his smash hit, ‘Soldier’s Cry,’ featured in the nationwide Wounded Warrior Project – all combines to offer what Mike values most; the ability to tell his story and share his life.
“The music presents itself like a gift, I don’t question it,” said Mike, who will play such London venues as Hope & Anchor on 4/13 at 9pm, and The Troubadour on 4/19 at 8:30pm, and previously with such bands as Alien Ant Farm and The John Butler Trio. “I’m following the path destiny has presented. Each opportunity is like a glowing streetlamp helping the next person better see their own way.”
The Brooklyn native concludes, “I never settle for good enough while great is still an option. Greatness is always around the corner and I’ll never stop moving forward to meet it.”
