BIO

Through his service with Government agencies and the military, Mike aka Intellect has developed high-level expertise in a broad range of disciplines including: man hunting, geo-location, cellular infrastructure, human intelligence,counter-terrorism and counter-narcotics.  These are just a few of the raw materials that coalesce in his art to create his expression.

Originally from Pensacola Florida, Michael is currently the technical advisor and actor for NBC’s new series,The Enemy Within, and was the technical consultant for ABC’s hit show, Quantico, based in VA where he currently resides.

His debut album Out of Left Field is reminiscent of Nas' Illmatic in 94'. It is clever wordplay and story telling, paired with some of the most amazing production heard today. Intellect takes you on a roller coaster ride of experiences and emotions as he expresses his most inner thoughts .

His latest EP Depth is a multi-dimensional record. As a collective body of work, Intellect uses Depth to address a wide array of modern topics; from the political and racial tensions currently plaguing the United States and other parts of the world; to universal themes of grit, endurance, and perseverance. He does this while often taking a courageous look within to find solutions and, sometimes, face his own shortcomings.

A particularly special moment on Depth is “Priest.” A tense track whose atmosphere is made more frantic by the inventive use of fluttering woodwinds, “Priest” presents themes of faith and racial inequity, as Intellect contemplates the decisions we make in the face of our shallow desires and the responsibilities that come with them.
