"Will to Power": Achieve Everything You Want in Life |

Many believe the only requirement for success is to maintain a high standard of excellence.
Technical musicianship and having “good chops”, is becoming the new norm rather than a novel notion. While there are many well-known talented musicians out there, and numerous yet to be discovered, fame awaits those that persevere.
British Music producer, Michael Blakey, is one of the renowned names that take the technical elements of music to a superior level. Blakey is well-known as a record producer, amongst many other things. With his determination and endeavors, he has amassed a staggering net worth of approximately USD 60 million. We wondered if he made his fortune only via the music industry or if he had other sources of income that helped him become so affluent.
We uncovered some intriguing facts about him after researching his work history. Blakey became a resident producer at Hansa Studios in Berlin, Germany, in 1978, when he was just 19 years old, working with artists such as Boney M, Udo Lindenberg, Julio Iglesias, and others. Soon after, Blakey began producing singles and albums for various European musical performers, including multi-platinum-selling musicians Engelbert Humperdinck and progressive rock band Phlox.
Across the 1980s and 1990s, Blakey worked as a session recording musician, composer, and producer in the United States and the United Kingdom. Blakey joined the European rock group, Tidal Force in 1993 as a drummer and composer, and the band released the LP Will To Power on Atico Records in 1994. Tidal Force's hits, Will to Power, and A Man Rides Through, were widely recognized.
Michael Blakey was the head of A&R for New York-based Atico Records from 1991 to 1994 during which time he received the Melody Maker Producer of the year award (Melody Maker is the European equivalent of the Grammys).
Between 1994 and 1998, he formed three other production companies, one of which being Platinum Records.
During his tenure at Platinum Records, he collaborated with scientists to create an audio extraction method known as 'Forensic Frequency Separation Software' (FFSS). This method allowed the qualitative extraction of audio segments from a mono tape and conversion to a regular vocal track. Blakey employed FFSS technology to make the Patsy Cline 'Duets' CD, which featured duets between current vocalists and the original (deceased) artist.
Entrepreneurial and YouTube Career
Michael Blakey has always been interested in the luxuries of life. He enjoys flying airplanes and driving high-performance vehicles. When he's not making music, he is passionate about exotic automobiles, high-end timepieces and having fun on his YouTube channel “ProducerMichael”.
In 2017, he began his YouTube channel 'ProducerMichael' to share his exciting and adventurous lifestyle with the internet world, giving a sneak peek into his fun-filled life. Michael’s channel has amassed in excess of 230 Million views, and has featured the biggest and best of everything including: mansions, jets, yachts, watches, cars, diamonds and even the “Most expensive house in the world”.
'ProducerMichael' has almost 3 Million followers across his social media platforms – encouraging, inspiring, and living up to his motto “In It to win it”!
