Welcome to Episode 25 of The Sleepless Sessions, and for returning listeners, welcome back! On this podcast we explore the lives of those in pursuit of their passions, dreams, and living unconventional lifestyles!

This episode I got to chat with my friend Mike; we've been chatting about recording an episode for a while now so I'm glad we we were able to bring this into fruition! Mike has an art moniker 'MIMS' embracing an abstract style with street art influence. He is also the art director for the event Nocturnal Funktion which has been mentioned on the podcast a few times. I've known Mike for a few years courtesy of our mutual friend Ian who introduced us at a show in the Boston area! It was a pleasure being able to record this episode as well as to learn more about him, his background in art and what's to come in the future!

We dive into numerous topics such as the vastness of art, his journey as an artist and painter, being an art director for Nocturnal Funktion, street art, painting, and broad concepts such as the meaning of life, and much more!

"Music is sound that creates the opportunity for connection and exploration " -Austin Pereira | 

Welcome to Episode 24 of The Sleepless Sessions, and for returning listeners, welcome back! On this podcast we explore the lives of those in pursuit of their passions, dreams, and living unconventional lifestyles!

This episode I got to chat with my friend Austin who goes by Ace On Earth. We connected at a Widdler show in Providence and both being aware of each others projects led to an instant connection leading us to this episode! Austin has a background in rap and hip-hop, cultivating influences from those styles as well as ideas of holistic health, consciousness, and meditation into his project and brand. You may also be familiar with his stickers, shirts, and hats saying 'Thank You For Being Here' and I've been rocking some on my water bottle and computer before actually meeting him funny enough. He radiates a contagious positive energy and it was a pleasure recording this episode with him as well as being able to connect with him! 

We dive into numerous topics such as the vastness of music in realms of production, performing, influences, the vision for his project as well as the 'Thank You For Being Here' project, his past clothing line, yoga, meditation, and much more!
