About
Mick's passion for country music began about 15 years ago during endless hours in traffic on the dusty streets and freeways of Los Angeles, where he lived at the time.
He was immediately drawn to the feel good harmonies and the story telling lyrics of the genre.
Soon after discovering a variety of different styles of country music, Mason was mostly drawn to the trendy and fresh sound of New Country and set all the presets in his car radio to national country stations.
The country vibe stuck with him until today.
After studying music formally in Germany, Mason started his music career in various bands and as a solo artist in Europe and in the United States.
But he never lost touch with country music and his never fading passion for this particular style of music led in 2020, during the pandemic, to the point where he just had to channel his emotional affection to this genre into a bunch of songs.
Mason admits: „It just felt right. It was the right time for me and overall a good fit for my taste and style in music, as well as for the kind of content and atmosphere I wanted to convey to my audience“.
In 2021 Mick started working on his country debut album, titled „Ride of my Life“, which he produced with country music big shots like Grammy winner Luke Wooten and Grammy nominee Bobby Holland at the Station West Studios in Nashville, Tennessee and Hamburg, Germany.
The album has been released by Phonotown Records on October 31st, 2023, and is available on all online streaming platforms and in a store near you.
He also produced his new singles „Heart Shaped Box“ and „Phone“ at the Station West Studios and the Pentavarit Studios in Nashville; with country legend Smith Curry as the band leader and pedal steel guitarist. Curry has been a household name in the music industry for several decades and has toured with the biggest acts, such as: Jon Bon Jovi, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Kid Rock, Dolly Parton, Erasure, Johnny Cash, and Taylor Swift, just to mention a few. And once again, Mason worked with Grammy winner Luke Wooten and Grammy nominee Bobby Holland on mixing, editing and production.
„I'm very fortunate to have the privilege of working with the most talented country artists in Nashville“, Mason said.
Currently Mick is on the road, rockin' his "Summer Tour 2026" and is scheduled to start shooting the video for "Heart Shaped Box" this fall.
Mason resides in Los Angeles, CA and Hamburg, Germany.
