Michael Goral (Born 17th July) better known by his stage name 'SHORTY MIC' started writing his own music, heavily influenced by West Coast artists such as Tupac, NWA, Ice Cube, Dr Dre and Nate Dogg. He started to develop his own sound which could be likened to be a fusion between West Coast/New York/Detroit Hip Hop. Other influences in his music are Eminem, Obie Trice, Royce da 5'9 and Twista. Shorty proudly produces and composes his own beats and has completed a bachelor of Music Composition and Production. Shorty Mic has opened for many up and coming Australian and International artists, as well as performing at many Melbourne and regional Victorian Hip Hop shows, including his own headlining shows.
