    One of the best nights of my life was working at the Belfry on 14th back in 2014 and Mike was our regular Monday night performer. One night in the middle of the biggest snow storm in the city’s recent history, even though maybe only 2 people were at the bar, he performed anyway. Pure acoustics (no need for a mic with such a small crowd) and he blew us all away. What a legend. So glad to see you found your way to the mainstream, always an easy village legend.

      It’s because you can feel his passion, his pain, when he sings he isn’t just singing he is displaying all of that ( passion, pain,joy etc)in the form of a song on top of that having a marvelous voice … with that being said, it touches me as well

    He is singing from the bottom.of his heart, you can feel shivers down the spine. Such a powerful and beautiful voice, he is a real singer and a storyteller. I hope that life treats him well. ❤❤❤

    As a New Yorker having ridden the subway for more years than I care to count I always loved it when I ran into Mike Yung and his cats playing on the platform. They hade it difficult to get on my train and continue my journey because they sounded so good. It does my heart good to see him recognized like this.

    AGT has turned into a Marketing Firm. As long as you look good and have a sad story, like a family member passed away, and you can be a SUPERSTAR. This is why The Voice is better, you are judged on your talent not the rest.
