Born in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, and now living in the U.S.A., Mike Jean has long awaited his turn to get the recognition he deserves for his accomplishments not only in the entertainment world, but also as a humanitarian advocate for the poor, the homeless and less-fortunate.

At the forefront of newly created rhythms and sounds, Mike and his old friend Tyrone Edmond put his personal touch in developing and producing pop sensation Kat De Luna, and was the reason in getting her signed to Epic Records/Sony Music. He is currently working and producing rock artist Sean Murphy and Reggae/Pop artist Shaka Dee.

Blessed with a wonderful humanitarian heart, he takes the time out of his love for music to pursue his other passion which is to help the poor. His influence in the music industry has given him the strength needed financially to pursue that goal. He has united members of the United Nations on several occasions to help him with his cause.

On the 17th of July 2008, he helped organize a fund raising project with the United Nations as well as the help of the Give Them A Hand Foundation. The money raised from the fundraiser was used to purchase water filtration systems for several communities in Haiti.

Major participators at the fundraiser were the Haitian’s Consul General Felix Augustin, U.N. personnel, and several other known figures and organizations. Talented artists such as Michael Fredo, Mel-Soul-Tree, and Shaka Dee gave their support by performing during the event. He is currently giving King Kino’s foundation a hand at organizing fund raising events to help children in Haiti get an education and return to school and is spending considerable energy into making Cite Soleil, an area that is considered one of the poorest in Haiti, a better place to live.

Lookout for his book entitled “THE BOOK OF MY LIFE”, which will be available in 2009.
