The secret is finally out….Today the new music video for “Top Of THe World,” is finally available to the public. We have been working on this video for the past few months and teamed up BANCS Media did an amazing job producing this new powerful music video. Big Picture Media just landed us a featured spot on Zimbio listed right in between David Beckham and Justin Bieber. “The music video for Mikey Pauker’s “Top of the World” is bittersweet but entirely joyful, a beautifully shot celebration of life, love and light set in the glory of the California coast. It’s a fitting reflection of the song, which explores the idea that all living creatures are connected to spirit.” Please share this with all of your communities and help us celebrate this monumental release. Blessings, |
Mikey was featured in the Algemeiner!!! Take a look at the fun interview by clicking on the article. Enjoy! |
“Pauker’s official bio lists a smorgasbord of influences: folk, electronica, pop, hip-hop and reggae all get shout-outs, not to mention Bon Iver, Imagine Dragons and the XX. Pauker has an album coming out this fall.” Take a Look here!!! |
This month Mikey has been honored with being featured in the Jewish Journal. “I think everybody has the time when something shifts about them. You can’t say when it’s going to happen. I think that it also takes a lot of questioning and the process of being open to it and sharing it with others. If we just let these experiences go by us and we’re not paying attention to it, then we’ve just basically ignored the whole thing.” Read more here!! |
Mikey was interviewed by Blue Print magazine. Read up here! |
“On Oct. 1, Pauker will release his “Extraordinary Love” album followed by a world-tour. The album is a mix of folk and pop, with a twist of hip-hop. “The Light,” a track featuring ex-Hassidic gay rapper Y-Love, blends the two styles perfectly.” Click on the article to read more! |
George Robinson writes “That is entirely appropriate since Pauker is a Californian, born and bred. Raised as a Reform Jew in Liguna Niguel, he describes himself as a “problem child” in shul, a kid who “acted out by talking” in class. But as he settled down, his interest in spirituality grew, as did his involvement in Jewish summer camps. When he went to San Francisco State as an undergraduate, he joined a Jewish fraternity, worked for the campus Hillel and made his first visit to Israel. Eventually he would spend time at a Carlebach-inspired yeshiva, “living chasidish, studying Tanya and mysticism, going to the mikveh every morning, wrapping myself in tefillin.” Read More here!!! |
“Pauker’s empathic, down-to-earth quality translates into his music, and that’s what’s getting him noticed. In an industry that’s riff with ego and posturing, it’s refreshing to see an artist who is genuinely interested and concerned with substance. Undoubtedly, big, big things are in store for this West Coast boy.” My friend Elizabeth Joy, actually came up with the idea to create the plantable music cds. Unfortunately this article misquoted me as that tends to happen in articles. She deserves the credit for this innovative idea!! Catch up on the story by clicking on the article! |
