Download of the Week: Mike Del Rio

posted in: Features • Pop

Breaking away from the New York city music scene is this week’s Needle in the Haystack Mike Del Rio. As Del Rio begins to display his unique sound and inventive musicianship to the worlds stage, we see the makings of a hit artist who’s holding back a well-planned musical marketing strategy to unleash at just the right moment.

As a self-taught singer/songwriter, Del Rio plays, “a different kind of pop music.” According to UnSpunHero, His music needed no unnecessary hype, forced fashion style, or glamorous presentation; it defended itself. Every girl was dancing and every guy had no choice but to bounce their head or tap their toes.  Del Rio was even asked to cover Buddy Holly’s “Everyday” for a History Channel commercial.
