Meet Micah Crée

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Micah Crée a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Micah, so happy to have you with us today. You are such a creative person, but have you ever had any sort of creativity block along the way? If so, can you talk to us about how you overcame or beat it?

Overcoming creativity blocks definitely isn’t a walk in the park. I think every creative has been there at some point. For me, I actually stepped away from recording for almost two years. During that time, I wasn’t forcing anything. I allowed myself to live life, reflect, and grow as a person. Sometimes creativity needs space to breathe.

Now I’m currently working on a new project that’s still in process, and I feel more inspired than ever. This time around, I have a real message and a lot to say. The break helped me reconnect with my purpose as an artist and reminded me that creativity isn’t something you can rush—it comes when you’re truly ready to express what’s on your heart.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

My brand as an artist is rooted in authenticity, growth, and storytelling. I’m an independent artist from Saint Louis who’s working toward one day being signed to a major music label, but at the same time I’m really focused on building something meaningful on my own. Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started performing when I was about three years old, so being on stage and expressing myself through music has always felt natural to me.

As I’ve shared in previous interviews, I made my official music debut during the pandemic with my first single Daydream, which is available on all major music platforms. That moment was really special for me because it was the first time I truly stepped out as an artist and shared my voice with the world. Following that release, I dropped my debut EP Metaphors Vol. 1 in 2023, which allowed listeners to get a deeper look into my sound, emotions, and creative perspective.

It’s been almost three years since my last project, and during that time I’ve been growing both personally and artistically. Right now, I’m currently in the process of creating a new project titled Back to the Drawing Board. This project represents reflection, evolution, and returning to the core of why I create music in the first place. I have a lot more to say and I’m excited for people to hear this next chapter of my journey.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

Looking back on my journey so far, I would say the three most important qualities that have impacted me the most are learning to go with the flow, trusting the process, and having patience with timing. In the music industry, things don’t always happen when or how you expect them to. Early on, I had to learn that not everything can be rushed and that sometimes you just have to allow things to unfold naturally.

Going with the flow has helped me stay open creatively and not put too much pressure on myself as an artist. Trusting the process has reminded me that every step, whether it’s a success or a setback, is part of the bigger picture of growth. And patience has been key because I truly believe that opportunities and milestones will come when they’re supposed to.

Through practicing these qualities, I’ve grown a lot both personally and as an artist. My advice to anyone who is early in their journey is to stay consistent, believe in your vision, and give yourself grace while you’re learning and evolving. Everyone’s path is different, and sometimes the best thing you can do is keep creating and trust that your time will come.

Looking back over the past 12 months or so, what do you think has been your biggest area of improvement or growth?

Over the past 12 months, my biggest area of growth has really been learning to trust myself more. I took intentional time to slow down and truly get to know myself again, both personally and as an artist. That period allowed me to reflect, revamp, and even rebrand parts of who I am creatively. It was about reconnecting with Micah and realigning with my purpose and the gift that was given to me.

Sometimes as artists we get caught up in the noise of everything around us, but taking that step back helped me find clarity. During that time of self-reflection, I was able to grow, rediscover my voice, and tap back into the passion that first led me to music.

Because of that time I gave myself, I’ve been able to create something really meaningful. I’m currently working on a new project that will be coming soon, and it truly reflects this new level of self-awareness, growth, and creative alignment.
