This is a song I created back in 2017, and though I never released it, I realize now how truly special it is. With time passing, I may not remember all the details, but its essence still resonates deeply within me.

Mikhal B is an inspiring electronic music artist from Vancouver Island, Canada, who has passionately pursued his craft for over ten years. 
Some music genres that Mikhal creates range from R&B to drum and bass. His deep love for drum and bass blossomed in the early 2000s, as he listened to CDs in his parents' basement. “I was mesmerized by the syncopated rhythms and could feel them in my soul. It’s like I had been there before, and I craved to make music, but didn’t know quite how yet.” 
His passion for music surged when he received his first Apple computer, opening a new world to express his creativity and share beautiful stories through sound. In high school, he immersed himself in electives focused on electronic music composition. Most of his skills in music creation have come from watching YouTube videos and tutorials, driven by a genuine thirst for knowledge and a humble desire to learn. Influences that have shaped his artistry include bands like Moby, Crystal Waters, The Crystal Method, Fatboy Slim, Fleetwood Mac, MGMT, Zero 7, Leftfield, Phil Collins, Groove Armada, Steely Dan, Kaytranada, Kryptogram, Cosmic Sequence, Nu:Tone, LTJ Bukem, Technimatic, Shogun, Dido, Tame Impala, ZHU, Daft Punk, Justice, Leisure, Supertramp, and Bohemian Rhapsody, among many others. His undying love for music continues to fuel his creative journey.
Born with a rare genetic neuromuscular disease known as Muscular Dystrophy, he faced his first major challenge at just four years old when he received a life-altering diagnosis. For any child, receiving such heavy news is unimaginable, and it weighed heavily on him and his family, who were told to prepare for a life filled with significant hurdles and a looming shadow of a shortened lifespan. The idea of facing mortality at such a young age was a thought too complex for a young mind to grasp. Yet, amidst the darkness, he found a beacon of hope. Instead of succumbing to his fate, he chose to rise above it. Nearly 30 years later, he stands as a testament to resilience, embracing life with unwavering positivity and indomitable strength—despite being confined to a wheelchair since the age of 14. His journey is not just one of survival; it’s a powerful story of triumph against the odds, proving that hope can flourish even in the most challenging circumstances. Mikhal has not allowed these challenges to impede his progress in the slightest bit, and he continues to share his music on YouTube and other streaming platforms, serving as a powerful inspiration to others to confront their own obstacles and pursue their aspirations. Mikhal’s positive demeanour and unwavering determination to push himself beyond his physical limitations are truly commendable and are seen as a beautiful strength! He maintains the belief that the mind is our most powerful tool and that all things are achievable when one sets their mind to it. He is supported by a family united by a shared love for music. His story underscores that with perseverance and resilience, it is possible to overcome challenges and attain one’s goals. “Music, for me, is a powerful bridge that links us to one another, revealing the beauty and passion that resides in each of us. It’s an expression of the raw, authentic human experience—a story waiting to be told. If something is igniting your passion, don’t keep it to yourself! Share that story; it might tug at heartstrings or spark emotions you never expected. You never know—it could truly change someone’s life. So let your voice be heard and let the world feel the rhythm of your soul!” 
So one thing to take from all this is not to pity me, as I am more than my challenges.
