Farees Kaleemah

Farees The Mikkanik, A.K.A his stage name Farees Kaleemah was born in 1992 and grew up in the small town of Smyrna, DE. Unfortunately he lived the typical single mom, no father type of ordeal. Since a child he always was the one to start the party in the room, whether it was beating on a desk or belting out a song while the teacher wasn't around. He didn't realize he could sing until females started asking him to sing to them. And just like a typical 16 year old, he started using it to his advantage. After graduating Smyrna High school, he attended Delaware State University where for the 1st time he entered a studio. Music, literally is the one thing other than God, that saved him. He spent 4 years mastering his craft, from From Singing to Engineering. Learning how to Mix & Master vocals, produce, and arrange music in a way that listeners can be given a great song, not just a great hook. His motto is "Through God". "For every accomplishment comes through becoming the God you are, beating obstacles and overcoming triumphs. Never giving up and putting all faith in The Creator."
