Mike Gradian

Mike has been both a DJ and producer of music for over 25 years.

Having had parents in the military, he was privileged to travel all over the world and experience all kinds of art, music, food, and culture.

So many of these things have influenced not only his music, but also the way he views the world and lives his life.

Mike has lived in Boise since 1993, and now calls it home.

Having helped establish the music scene here over the years, not only as an artist but as a promoter and manager of clubs, Mike continually acquires the utmost appreciation for all of the music that comes through town.
