Haji Mike aka Dr Mike Hajimichael, Dub Poet, Assistant Professor and Radio/Podcast Producer.
Poet, DJ, Radio Presenter and Assistant Professor, Haji Mike is a unique recording artist and spoken word performer. Dub Poetry is his favoured medium of expression although his earlier works were more MC/world fusion with a hybrid form of dancehall music from Cyprus via London. And he has collaborated with a wide range of artists including:
Producer Simon Emmerson, the acid-jazz funk band Izit, Greek Rappers Imiskoubria and more recently the Cyprus songstress Lia Vissy. Over the last 10 years Haji Mike has been working more through collaborations on the net with Standout Selector (USA), Bandulu Dub (Portugal), Jah Billah (Croatia), Spill The Milk (UK) and Sonic Crime (Greece & Cyprus).
In 2009 he connected in a virtual sense with producer Dub Caravan. Their collaborative work, the CD ‘Virtual Oasis’ was recorded and produced entirely online. This along with many other online collaborations have influenced current research interest by the dub poet, with a forthcoming paper at The Art of Recording Production Conference at Leeds University in December 2010.
Haji Mike also produces a weekly radio show, OuterNational and teaches Communications at The University of Nicosia, Cyprus. He has published articles on poetry and multiculturalism, early colonial photography in Cyprus and equal opportunities/diversity.
