If you travel down I-‐75 through Michigan, you will come up on a small town by the
name of Saginaw. Not known for anything much more than being nationally recognized for violence,
basketball, and failed economic hopes. Yet Saginaw is a place called home to many. One of the
natives that call Saginaw home is Mike Spitz. Mike Spitz is an American hip-‐hop artist that has
been creating quite the buzz to say the least. Spitz has been releasing new music and videos
consistently throughout the Mid-‐West, capturing the attention of many
top industry insiders.
“Spitzer is just murdering the tracks with his gravelly voice and vicious
delivery. He’s a monster. I love this album, front to back.”— Scott Bejda, Murderdog Magazine
As a kid, Spitz’s parents maintained various jobs and hustle’s to provide for their family. They
often moved from one place to the next, staying with family and friends and apartments. During
those time’s Spitz had been introduced to a lot of things most kids his age had never seen. During
the good and bad time’s, there was always music. In his early years, Spitz’s parents would play all
types of music, from Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, The Doors, to Al Green, and Lynrd Skynrd. Around 1987
Spitz got his first dose of hip-‐hop. “I used to walk down to my neighbors and listen to Beastie
Boys all day long. That same year I got Licensed To Ill for my birthday, and it was on.” Over the
years his range of music was very diverse. He listened to a lot of NWA, 2pac, DJ Screw, Esham,
Eminem, Dayton Family, Staind, Bone, Sublime, Deftones, Tool, Rage Against The Machine, just to
name a few.
After high school and a brief stint behind bars, Spitz began to write, produce, and
record music any chance he got. Under his nickname “Spitzer”, he released several albums and
performed with national recording acts such as Scarface, D-‐12, Too Short, Twista, Bone
Thugs-‐N-‐Harmony, Jon Connor, Saliva, and Taproot. He was also the opening act for the legends
of hip hop tour. Spitz has recorded tracks with Michigan heavyweights, Esham and the late MC Breed,
helping him become one of the top selling independent artist’s from Michigan. Spitz is now working
on his fourth album, that he plans on releasing this year, along with five videos to help promote
the album. He has dropped his nickname and reinvented himself musically, learning to play guitar
and piano while finishing up his degree in audio engineering and business of music. Mike Spitz has
become a force to be reckoned with.
Spitz brings a unique raw emotion and real life that is really hard to find in
today’s industry. His delivery, tone, and lyricism set him in a league of his own. Spitz wears all
the hats when it comes to his music career. “For me at this point in my career, I have no choice
but to play the role of artist, manager, booking agent, producer, investor, and label. I wasn’t
brought into this with a silver spoon or connections. I learned a long time ago that if it’s going
to work, it is going to be because I put in the work.
If you truly love something and have passion for it, you will never give up and you will always
fight for it”.
Spitz has been featured in Murderdog Magazine, Hip Hop DX, DetroitRap.com,
Faygoluvers.com and many other publications. In 2013, he was awarded 5 awards at the Mid Michigan
Review Music Awards including hip-‐hop artist of the year. He also received 4
more awards in 2014 including artist of the year as well. Spitz has no plans of slowing down
anytime soon. “ I have always been an underdog my whole life, diamond in the ruff. I’m just a dude
that loves to make music. I just want to see where my music will take me, and connect with as many
people as possible and continue to grow. We may not have a lot of opportunities and outlets where
I’m from, but that isn’t going to stop me from reaching my goals. I already have everything I want
in life. Anything else is just a bonus”. -‐Mike Spitz
