The legend of Mike Stud dates back to his days growing up as one of Rhode Island’s greatest ball players of all-time. As a highly touted high school Senior, Stud was named Rhode Island’s 2006 Gatorade Player of the Year, Louisville Slugger Player of the Year honors, and also received a full athletic scholarship to Duke University. Mike was selected as an All-American and now holds the lowest ERA in Duke Baseball history after only his Freshman season at Duke. After the promising start to Stud’s collegiate baseball career, Tommy John surgery put him on the sidelines.

Suddenly, making music became an outlet to pass the time for Mike. After only a few public releases of self-composed songs, he began to get notable recognition for his rhyming ability and was encouraged to continue. After graduating Duke, Mike transferred to Georgetown to continue his studies as a Graduate student and to continue his attempt at regaining full-strength on the mound. Needless to say, Mike also continued working on music in his down time. Fast forward 14 months, and Mike is now one of the hottest upcoming musicians on the web, globally. Mike Stud’s rookie mixtape "A Toast to Tommy" debuted at #3 Worldwide, and #2 U.S. on the iTunes Hip-Hop album charts last October. He has since headlined asSold out 20-city national tour and has acquired over nearly 10 million YouTube views and counting. His versatility & fun, up-beat style has brought Mike to the forefront of viral artists, and with each new release, he is showing the world that he is about to take it over.
