Mike Tompkins (Again)...

So I have been featuring Mike Tompkins, a boy who went to my high school, quite a few times over the past 2 or so months. First he came out with an amazing version of "Fireflies" by Owl City (one of my most favourite musicians) and then "Teenage Dreams/ Just the Way You Are" by Katy Perry/ Bruno Mars (I am seriously obsessed with this mash-up). Then he came out with a great version of "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz, he was featured on Ellen, and then he was on the Today Show. What is so amazing about Mike's music is that it is completely a capella. What this means is that every sound you hear is made entirely from his mouth- that's right, there isn't any band or background music, he does that ALL HIMSELF. Anyways, he has come out with a version of "Only Girl in the World" by Rhianna.

Mike Tompkins (Again)...

So over the last couple of months I have been blogging about Mike Tompkins (here and here). A really talented musician/ music producer who I went to high school with. A few months ago he blew up on Youtube with his a capella rendition of "Teenage Dreams/ Just the Way You" are... And later with "Dynamite".

The craziest thing is that he makes every single sound in his songs using only his mouth! That's right, there is no instrumentals playing whatsoever. That is sheer talent if I ever did see it ;). He was on Ellen a few weeks back and after that the media surrounding him just kinda dropped off...

Imagine my surprise then this morning when I turn on Today as I am getting ready for school and there he is alongside Matt, Al, and Meredith! And teaching them how to recreate "Dynamite"! I thought that it was so great that I had to share it with y'all...
