ARTIST BIO:
Me & Mi, a husband and wife team of musicians with lifelong music industry experience, specialize in singing, songwriting, recording and production. They perform locally with “Me & Mi Band,” and offer multiple products and services to the community. Members Mikeia and “Meat”, formally of the urban trio Lost and Found, were signed to Warner Music Group in 2001. By 2004 their album was being released independently, with the help of mentor Hafiz George of Blazin’ Multimedia. The first recordings under the name Me & Mi came in 2005. Since then the primary objective has been taking a hands on approach to every aspect of their careers, generating from the ground level up, a die-hard fan base, creative community support and market changing music.
Versatile and self- contained Me & Mi are not limited to one sound or style but prefer to work freely with a multitude of music professionals and different venues.The most recent escapade being what they term "hood-soul" a new wave of hip hop flavored, indie-band funk.
Me & Mi Music is an equal partnership owned by Arthur “Meatball” Brown and Mikeia Luckey-Brown. Originally from New Brunswick N.J., they now operate out of a home studio working with much of the local youth and arts. Currently focusing on recording their new release, they've also mentored at- risk youth since 2005, offering recording sessions, and career consultation on the grass roots level, in Easton Pa.
Me & Mi Music has invested in the development of several local artists, producers, and songwriters, advising creative persons of all kinds, encouraging them to stay true to themselves and to move toward entrepreneurship.
MORE ABOUT ME&MI:
The Creative Development Program got its start about 5 years ago. At that point it was a weekly class, funded by a small grant, at The Children’s Home of Easton. It was then created to support young people’s investment in them selves, while emphasizing self-awareness and expression, which was greatly needed in an environment that housed kids in foster care, with placement issues or truancy sentences. It was soon realized the class could be extended and revised to apply to anyone, for assessment, enhancement and advancement of a student’s unseen potentials.
Shortly after, in 2007 it was incorporated into an artist development program and discussion group at the local Boys and Girls Club teen center “The Club,” where more than usual of the young people attended regularly and were notably impacted in a positive way. In 2008 a youth artist development class was added to the schedule, leading to grant funded summer programs in the Easton Area Community Center. There several of the Artists completed the program with a marketable product. Another success, the Sapphires Awaiting Program, was led by Marie George of Blazin’ Multimedia and Total You Consulting. It worked with teen females to improve self-image and self-esteem giving them the ability to relate to the world in healthy and productive ways. Me & Mi quickly attracted the attention of the neighborhood as something of value to the region, just as they once had in the music industry as l&f, shaping the future of local arts and culture.
