Furthermore, his mother, who is his greatest musical influence exposed him to the world of music which eventually impacted the content of his songs. Mic started off playing piano and drums which taught him the importance of counting beats. Mic Larry furthered his education of music by minoring in music theory in college. While pursuing a career in computer programming, a lifestyle he considered suffocating, this ignited his true calling for music as he discovered that he was proficient in mixing computer-generated beats.
