Misha is half Finnish and half Ukrainian Hip-hop/R&B producer based in Helsinki, Finland. In May 2018 he released his producer debut ‘Feel’ through Chillhop Music – one of the leading tastemakers in the instrumental hip-hop scene.
The lead single ‘Glory’ I have been rinsing quite a bit it’s a sultry track featuring Latrell James & Najee Jane. it’s the kind of track that makes you want to do that sexy walk, y’all know what I mean that catwalk one with too much hips yeee that one. Catchy chorus with low harmonies that give you chills, hypnotic beat and rapping thats flows effortlessly over like water.
The rest of the Ep features Danny Polo , KALLITECHNIS, ES.KAY, Ashley DuBose, Soul Food Horns, Kaisha, cocabona & Ian Ewing)
Misha speaks about on working with artists and the Gusto Ep coming together “As a producer I wanted to create a fresh but nostalgic vibe. Much of my inspiration is drawn from music from different decades and from all over the world. Hip-Hop, R&B, Soul, Funk, Jazz-funk, Bossa Nova, Latin Jazz, AOR, Stage & Screen, Disco, Psychedelic Rock etc.”

”I let the artists express themselves freely and tell their stories on my beats. There are also some session musicians and producers, who took part in the process. Gusto EP celebrates the enjoyment of collaboration and connection in music. It's definitely a result of an international collaborative effort. To me music is about connecting people. You can communicate and understand each other even if you don't share a common language. It's joyful and it brings people and cultures closer to each other, which is much needed in these times of division."
After a couple of releases via Chillhop Music Misha followed up with his debut EP named Midnight Sun, which was very well received in the beat scene and made it to the EP Top 5 on BBC Radio 1Xtra. 10M+ streams and support from BBC Radio 1Xtra/Jamz Supernova and Okayplayer means he’s one to keep your eyes on.
