Welcome back to BuzzMusic, Mike Habhab! We loved “Show Me a Way Out;" we had to ask! Although you mentioned the inspiration for this song came from your relationship, what was it like expressing those feelings through your music?
Writing this song was an emotional journey and therapy for me. That period was challenging for me and my wife as well. I do not want to get too in-depth, but it was a rough patch that I do not want to experience again. I have always thought that music was a great way to express your feelings, and for this true song. To sing about and relive it again was hard but worth it.
Something that’s quickly become apparent is your penchant for sincere, heartfelt lyricism. Is this approach to your music intentional, and how would you describe your music to someone who hasn’t heard it before?
I would say that my songs come from the heart. Writing about experiences that I have encountered is easy for me, and this approach is intentional and what works best for me. I would describe my music as speaking from my heart with raw emotion, love, and life experiences that I am sure everyone has had at some point. I want to be able to connect and share all that I can through music and song.
What inspired you to start making music, and what inspires you to keep making music today?
It has always been my dream to write music or to sing. I used to write poems for my wife and family, and I wanted to explore more on the songwriting side. I feel that music is an art form that everyone can connect with and enjoy. I am inspired to keep writing music because it is good therapy for myself and brings my love for music to the world for those who will listen.
What would you want it to be if your listeners could take one thing away from your music?
I hope I can touch or reach out to some listeners going through what I have gone through and tell them not to give up and that there is always hope.
What’s next for Mike Habhab?
Can we expect to hear more new music soon, and is there anything you want to say to your fans? I am currently in the writing phase to see what works and what does not work. For my fans, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and for letting me share my music journey with you; you are the best.
