Mike Posner is set to perform on America’s Got Talent tonight on NBC. Posner, who has scored a top five hit on the iTunes pop charts with his debut single Cooler Than Me, will release his debut album entitled 31 Minutes To Takeoff on August 10th. He signed a record contract while still in college at Duke University but returned to school to finish his degree before launching his album. Mike Posner released his first mixtape A Matter Of Time in 2009, and has performed on the same stage as 50 Cent and “No one knew who he was last year. We had a month to promote [last year] and not a whole lot of people came. This time we only had a week and we had way more people come out.”
Sophomore Ashlie Taylor was one of many students who came out to see Posner perform.
Taylor had been a fan of Posner since December 2009 and this was the first time seeing the artist live.
“I think it was great especially since he’s an up-and-coming, new performer. He’s pretty good”
It was only a year ago that Posner was performing at Scoop to an audience that couldn’t even name one of his songs.
This time around, the crowd knew every word.
