Blaque Dynamite, a.k.a. Mike Mitchell, has given validity to the cliche “age is nothing more than a number”. He began drumming at two, played in his first live recording session at seven, and acquired a roster of major drum company endorsements by the time he turned eleven years old.

Mitchell has been an undeniable force in music for over a decade. Before he could even vote, he had already shared stages with Chick Corea, Erykah Badu, Herbie Hancock, Kamasi Washington, Stanley Clarke, Thundercat, and Willow Smith. Blaque Dynamite blends jaw-dropping technical skill with an electric stage presence. His sound – a fearless fusion of jazz, funk, gospel, metal and everything in-between. Blaque Dynamite releases music under DOLFIN RECORDS, an independent record label in which he co-founded in 2015 with fellow Dallas musicians and artists.

He regularly releases new music, digitally and on vinyl. He has collaborated and recorded with many artists including: Stanley Clarke, Lil Yachty, Cory Henry, Jon Bap, Live, Ben Hixon, Stefan Ringer, BIGYUKI, Shaun Martin, CARTOONS, and many more. With four groundbreaking albums, three EPs, and a signature drum stick with Zildjian under his belt, Blaque Dynamite isn’t just keeping time – he’s shaping the future of music.
