Our R&B/Soul Crooner is a true reflection of dedication and perseverance. For close to a decade he has remained at the forefront of the underground urban music scene in Australia. Ten years in the making, he is set to release his debut album entitled "YOUNG BOY OLD SOUL" to the world. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Marvin Gaye, D Angelo, Musiq Soulchild & Maxwell, Mike Champion oozes an envious yet humble charm and charisma his fellow musicians admire. With boyish good looks, a poetic mind and a voice to dim the lights, Mike Champion is undoubtedly a natural-born superstar.
This singer, songwriter, performer and recording artist, was born in the western suburbs of Sydney, Australia. Of South African descent this young star was born only a year after his parents immigrated to Australia. At an early age it became apparent to his parents that Mike had a natural ability to sing, dance and captivate just about any audience with his raw talent. At the age of eight Mike joined a band with his sisters and began rapping as “Micky C” as at various nightclubs around Sydney. During his school years “Micky C” began writing songs after realising he was able to connect lyrics with melodies. He would often be found in his bedroom late at night writing and singing to himself.
Mikeʼs presence electrifies a room. This coupled with his magnetic charm brings followers and fans by the 1000s. His sweet sounding, silky vocal is well matched with the smooth and soulful production of his newly released, underground hit debut LP entitled Young Boy - Old Soul. Based on a goal to create “Grown Folk Music” to enthral an audience of all ages, Championʼs Young Boy – Old Soul definitely exceeds all expectations. The LP features local producer and long time friend Don Dolla, as well as other local Artists “the Champ” has connected with, somewhere along his journey.
In surrounding himself with positive and gifted producers, singers, musicians and mentors Mike has intentionally set himself to become an R&B Legend.
