9 | MIKE POSNER: Stardom, Artistry & Hits




OFF RCRD with Cory Levy show

Summary: Singer-songwriter Mike Posner (@MikePosner) has had several massive hits with Cooler Than Me and I Took a Pill in Ibiza, but it hasn’t come easy. “I really thought that when I got that record deal, that my experience of life would change, that I would be happier and I'd be in the 'promise land', that just my experience of life would be exponentially better and I wouldn't have, really, problems anymore,” says Mike. “It didn't make my life worse or make me more sad and more happy, it just was overwhelmingly the same. That was disappointing and disillusioning because I really thought, before, it was going to solve all my problems, and it just didn't.” Mike then thought, “maybe I just need a big hit song or something', and I set about acquiring that, and I did.” In this episode of OFF RCRD, listen to Mike Posner talk with entrepreneur and investor Cory Levy (After School, Internapalooza).
