S04 E03: Mikel Perkins
Founder of B.H.A.M., Audio Engineer, Producer, Musician and Teacher
Mikel Perkins, former tuba player and current member of rock band MakLak, founded Bellingham's newest music organization, Bellingham Helps Access Music (BHAM) last May. He visited the studio to talk about his non-profit and how meaningful it is to him, "It's my life's work. It's the culmination of everything I've worked towards." His journey in music will leave you in awe and my hope is that you channel your inner Mikel and follow your passion with high levels of enthusiasm, curiosity and grit. This driven, thoughtful and kind person is also a dad, and I can't wait to see what his daughter Zoe accomplishes in her life with him as her example.
Check out the non-profit here: https://www.bellinghamhelpsaccessmusic.org/
Maklak's music on Spotify
Enjoy your weekend, be of use, and go do something hard.
If you love music, go see some rad live music at the Arcadian Public House.
Love my intro song and my logo? Check out Clay Work. He is incredibly talented. He also hosts Trivia at Lyman Tavern on Tuesdays, and at District Brewing on Wednesdays. My kid and I like to draw and write. Check out my substack, radio show, all of our books and merch here: www.linktr.ee/lizduffy
