When Mike Posner was in tenth grade, an advanced placement course in American History changed his life.  "We read about all these different people who had made an impact on U.S. history and I started to feel terrified that I'd never be remembered after I left this earth," Posner says.  "That's the scariest thing in the world to me.  Music is a way I can make my mark.  That's what I think about every day: creating something timeless in a finite amount of time."

The 22-year-old singer, songwriter, producer has taken a major step toward achieving his goal with the release of his debut album, 31 Minutes To Takeoff - an ecletic, lovingly crafted collection of soulful tunes that showcase his innovative spirit and motivation to create something that sounds like nothing else out there.  Posner co-wrote and/or co-produced every song on the album, conjuring up killer hooks and irresistible beats with a host of top-notch collaborators, including Benny Blanco (Ke$ha, Katy Perry), Greg Kurstin (Kylie Minogue, Lily Allen), The Smeezingtons (Bruno Mars, B.o.B., Travie McCoy), and members of legendary R&B vocal group Boyz II Men (who provides soulful harmonies on "Deja Vu").

31 Minutes To Takeoff (so named because according to Posner "something happens 31 minutes into the album that takes both the listener and I to a higher place") delivers on the promise he shoed on his mixtapes.  Making the most of his raspy, soulful tenor, Posner relates stories about his life, chronicling his imploded relationships ("Cheated") and his own dubious behavior ("Gone In September"), as well as his struggles with balancing family and career ("Delta 1406") and depression ("Save Your Goodbye").  Other highlights include the libido-driven smash "Bow Chicka Wow Wow", the Ray Lamontagne sampling "Do U Wanna," the flat-out club stomper "Please Don't Go," and the slinky, dream-like "Falling," which Posner describes as a cross between "a girl song and a song about obsessive ambition to make my mark with music."

"The second I stop using what happens to me in my real life and start making things up in my songs, is the second I lose everything," Posner says.  "The most important word in my life is 'authenticity.'  If I lose that I've lost everything.  I wanted my album to be the platform I could stand on to say something meaningful and introduce myself to the world. I also wanted to make the best album of the year," he says with a laugh.  "I guess time will tell if that happens."
