Mike Andersen, the Aarhus-based roots artist, has announced the upcoming release of his 10th album, along with a solo tour this spring. His first single, ‘Only For You’, was released on March 13th, offering a glimpse into the intimate, acoustic side of his new work. The song is stripped down to just vocals and acoustic guitar, aligning with the vulnerable theme of opening up to a new relationship and allowing oneself to be truly seen.

Produced by Christian Ki, who has earned critical acclaim for both his solo albums and work with artists like Simone Tang, the new single is an honest, minimalist creation with Americana influences. The accompanying black-and-white animated music video reflects the raw emotional tone of the song.
In addition to the release of ‘Only For You’, Mike Andersen will embark on an extensive solo tour across Denmark in April and May, performing in venues like Amager Bio and Dexter.

Mike Andersen, who debuted in 2002 with ‘My Love for The Blues’, has consistently evolved as an artist blending blues and roots with contemporary influences. His dynamic live shows and music have earned him numerous awards, including two DMA Blues awards in 2022. With this new album and tour, he continues to solidify his place in Denmark’s music scene and internationally.

Every artist has a story, but few are as powerful as Raxz’s. The Dayton, Ohio native has faced challenges that could have stopped most people in their tracks. After serving an 11-year prison sentence and enduring the heartbreaking loss of both parents, he made a decision to rewrite his future through music.

A major turning point came when his mother left him a letter encouraging him to focus on his God-given talent. Her words became a source of strength and motivation, inspiring him to take his music career seriously and pursue the dreams he’d long put aside.

That dedication is paying off. Raxz has collaborated with respected artists such as Sally Sossa, Slatt Zy, and Trecinco, building a reputation for authenticity and determination. In 2022, he was recognized by XXL Magazine as an artist to watch, further validating his growing presence in the industry.

While success hasn’t come without setbacks, Raxz has remained committed to his vision. Whether battling self-doubt, maintaining consistency, or navigating the business side of music, he’s continued to push forward.

Now, he’s preparing for the release of City of Dragons, a project he describes as his most complete and hardest-hitting work to date. With production from Sauce Sinatra, Yung Steely, and members of 808 Mafia, expectations are high.

As his audience continues to grow, Raxz is proving that no matter where you’ve been, your story doesn’t have to define your future. Stream his new single “First Flight” below.
