How Mike Posner Regained Creative Confidence After a Seven-Day Retreat

Known for electropop/hip-hop fusions like "Cooler Than Me" and "I Took a Pill in Abiza," Mike Posner intrigued many with the release of his spoken word album, i was born in detroit on a very very very very very very very cold day. An arrangement of poems he created on the road in 2016, the 15-track project began organically alongside his talented band.

"I've always been a poet. I've always been writing poetry. This whole business started with this album because one day in rehearsal, I just did a poem while the band was playing, and it sounded incredible," the 29-year-old tells Fuse. "I just made this ridiculous goal of creating a new piece for each show...I thought that was a really special way to approach the concerts."
