From a young age, Mike has always been a music head. Growing up, he listened to Old School R&amp;B and Soul Music, but had no idea that it would lead him into the music industry. Yung Bleu and Mike met about seven years ago, however he didn&#8217;t know much about the industry. Initially, he just wanted to invest and support Yung Bleu because he believed in him and his vision. But Yung Bleu wanted Mike to become his manager.<\/p>\n<p>Since taking on Yung Bleu as an artist, Mike has learned so much about the music business. &#8220;What might work for one artist might not work for another, so you have to learn as you go and continue to learn,&#8221; he stated. As a manager, Mike is very laid back and is always keeping up with what\u2019s happening behind the scenes. He explained his management style, stating that he lets his artists control their own image and creativity because it allows them to be themselves. On the other hand, he focuses on business administration, recordings, bookings, etc. When Mike is looking for a new artist to work with, he likes to work with the underdog \u2013 an artist with a vision others can\u2019t see. An artist with a passion for music and someone willing to give it their all. When he signs an artist, he believes it&#8217;s essential to get to know them and build trust and loyalty. &#8220;It&#8217;s not just about the music or shoving a contract in your face. We have to have trust and loyalty, like a family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This may be your first time hearing about Mike Anthony, but this year, expect to see and hear a lot more about him. The possibilities are endless for Mike. Although he focuses on management, be on the lookout for his new music publishing company coming soon and follow him on Instagram @MAmusic to stay connected and informed.<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Mike Anthony from Mobile, Alabama is the CEO of MA Music and manages Yung Bleu, the artist behind the hit song \u201cYou\u2019re Mines Still\u201d featuring Drake.
