Rubbing shoulders with the likes of Witt Lowry, Mac Miller, & Drake he flows between heavy rapped lyrics & an R&B vocal tone flexing his versatility.
“I’ve always written music from an honest and authentic place. I’ve never tried to paint a picture of a life I don’t live, emotions I don’t feel, or put on some sort of ‘show’ through my music. I’ve never felt like there was any difference between Michael Wavves and Jordan (my real name), they’re one in the same.”
“…I’ve always been unapologetically me and tried to embrace everything for what it is, even the rough times. I think that is what really connects, resonates, and ultimately helps people through their struggles. I wrote ‘Deeper’ when I was in a pretty dark place. Full of self-doubt, frustration, loneliness, self-loathing, and just overall feeling like shit. And those feelings creep back in from time to time, I’m working on it :)”
“From the moment I made it I knew it was special, and I still get goosebumps when I listen to it. I think it cuts so deep because it perfectly communicates where I was at when I wrote it. It reminds me that sometimes it’s okay to not feel okay. We all have our shit: vices, weaknesses, things we don’t like about ourselves, addictions, etc. and I hope this song can be a source of strength and help you through those things. We are all going through it. Keep fighting.” – Micheal finished.
Anxiety is a never ending battle that a lot of us deal with, especially during this crazy ride we are all on with the COVID 19 Pandemic. In Deeper, Michael reassures us that we are not alone and our battles really are what we make of them and how we manage that anxiety and come out stronger is what matters the most. Easier said than done, but he reassures us that no matter the anxieties that we are facing – they can be worked through and we can continue to live a normal life and chase our dreams, while battling anxiety.
A lot is in store for Michael Wavves. & we are stoked to see what is next from this emerging artist. If you are looking forward to what is next from Michael, be sure to follow him on Twitter and Instagram. “Deeper” is available now on all major music streaming platforms.
