Born in the same city where the Oregon Ducks reign supreme, Michael Dubois moved soon thereafter to a small town in Northern Nevada just outside of Carson City, the state’s capital. Growing up, he was always around and influenced by music. His parents were heavy into classic oldies and country, and his siblings the same with hip-hop, rap, R&B, and alternative.

Born in the same city where the Oregon Ducks reign supreme, Michael Dubois moved soon thereafter to a small town in Northern Nevada just outside of Carson City, the state’s capital. Growing up, he was always around and influenced by music. His parents were heavy into classic oldies and country, and his siblings the same with hip-hop, rap, R&B, and alternative. He had an ear for music that his peers didn’t. Whether it be recognizing and breaking down a song on the radio to its instrumental core, or knowing the exact month and year of an song/album release, his love for everything music grew right along with him. Especially his love for hip-hop. So much so, that he began writing lyrics early in the fifth grade, and began producing his own beats as well as remixing Top 40 hits in his bedroom shortly after.     Years later while attending Dayton High School, the young lyricist met up and became good friends with fellow hip-hop head Travis Rosenberry, who broke down duby’s socially shy wall to allow him to blossom as an artist. They recorded many songs in the summer of 2008 and released a group project later that year. They quickly caught the local eye by their quality of production and lyrical content. duby’s major breakthrough as an up-and-coming hip-hop artist was catching spin on a local radio station with his hit singles “Sleep When You’re Dead”, and “Skinny Jeans & Vans”. Soon after, without any help from a manager or label, he landed a highly successful song on iTunes, in the late spring of 2012, with “Like Nike”. m.duby has released six independent projects with one under his own indie record labelSkyBox Music Group. Though he isn’t under any limelight of the sort, many agree his talent and overall ambition towards his dreams will soon pay off. As long as he keeps his head to the Sky.
