Mike Massé is an internationally acclaimed artist and arranger who performs epic acoustic classic rock. He is a YouTube icon with over 195 million channel views. Legends of rock like Toto, Boston, Sarah McLachlan, Styx, Rush, Berlin, Asia, and others have expressed love and gratitude for his acoustic renditions of their songs. Toto cites his acoustic cover of “Africa” as their favourite.
Mike initially gained notoriety for his performances posted on his widely viewed YouTube channel. The success of that channel allowed him to quit his day job as a public defender after 13 years and move his family to Denver to become a full-time musician who performs around the world.
Mike’s acoustic arrangements are praised for their originality, creativity, accuracy and simplicity. He is careful to remain true to what is beloved about the original recordings, while bringing his own masterful musical flair to each rendition.
His performances feature a rich, full sound—combining acoustic guitar, vocals, live foot percussion, and a guitar synthesizer that creates lush background textures. The result is an immersive, dynamic concert experience that feels far bigger than a solo act, while remaining intimate and musical.
His YouTube success has led to other musical opportunities, like singing with original members of the band Boston doing a set of all classic Boston songs, some of the most challenging rock vocals ever recorded.
His famous cover of Toto’s “Africa” was parodied on TBS’ “American Dad,” making Mike Massé and Jeff Hall a pop culture reference.
Mike continues to perform his unique brand of epic acoustic classic rock as an international touring artist on his quest to “cover the music, cover the world.”
