ABOUT ME
My name is Michael Lazarus aka Mike Laz. I've been involved in recording, mixing, music production, and various aspects of the music business for 12+ years. I am currently based in Long Island, NY. My work has garnered millions of streams and plays, and my mixes have been featured on HOT 97, Power 105.1, Sirius XM Radio (Hip-Hop Nation & Shade 45), MTV, Mass Appeal, & REVOLT TV.
Some of the artists I've worked with include Big K.R.I.T., Roc Marciano, Cash Cobain, Ali Vegas, Poiison, Tedy Andreas, Cormega, Sandy Benjamin, Will Sully, Leadgeon, R.I.P KULT, Deadman Cyph, Buddy Lofton, HOAX, Matt Zeiss, KING SOL, Black Horowitz, Gnarly Karma, JMARS,
Carrie and The Cats, & more.
I have had the opportunity to learn under platinum-certified and grammy award winning engineers including Tommy Uzzo (Redman, Method Man, Mary J. Blige), Mike Hogan (EPMD), Mike Caiati (Joan Jett, The Ramones), & John Arbuckle (Jon Bellion), and worked with musicians including Richie Cannata (Billy Joel, The Beach Boys), Liberty DeVitto (Billy Joel), Mike Dimeo (Riot, Johnny Winter, Tommy James and the Shondells), and Chris Clark (‘WICKED’, ‘Mamma Mia!’), and with producers Sha Money XL (50 Cent, G-Unit), David “Gordo” Strickland (Drake, Pete Rock), Eren Cannata (Demi Lovato, ‘The Voice’), and Mr. Fingaz (Jay-Z, Fabolous, Busta Rhymes).
My goal for every project is to achieve the best sounding results possible, get the most out of the song, and foster the ideal environment for creativity and musicality. In addition to my studio work, I have live sound experience including working in clubs, weddings, festivals, and houses of worship.
