Michael Marcagi has had an absolutely epic year, and I’m psyched to have him on the show this week. Michael, whose most recent EP, American Romance, just dropped last month, has been hitting the road hard, but this only tells half the story. Late last year, his song, “Scared to Start,” became an overnight sensation — literally — when it received more than a million views by the day after he posted it. Since then the song has gained over 4 billion views on TikTok and close to 400 million plays on Instagram!!
To state the obvious, this put Michael on the map. But more importantly, Michael is speaking truths to a broad swath of listeners that have truly resonated with his message: learn who you are and be true to yourself no matter what. And Michael, in turn, is as real as what his songs have succeeded in projecting into the world.
I talk to Michael about what his viral success has meant, how he manages to stay sane and so incredibly grounded — much to his credit — and how he has maintained his impressive level of much-needed perspective. This is a phenomenal interview with a super-talented artist, who, against all odds, is as absolute real as it gets. This is a truly great one!!
