About Me
I’m Michele Calogiuri, professionally known as Mike — entrepreneur, musician and creative director.
My story began at the intersection of seemingly different worlds: music, business and creativity.
I started studying the violin at the age of six, long before I could imagine that music would become such a fundamental part of my professional life. At the same time, I pursued an academic and managerial path, earning a degree in Civil Engineering and spending around ten years in the corporate world.
Two paths that, over time, began to converge.
My experience as a musician and producer gradually evolved into a broader vision of entertainment, leading me to create and develop ventures focused on event production, artist management, music planning and creative direction.
Today, I am the Founder & Creative Director of MIKEVENTS, where we create events and productions for private clients, companies and international brands, working across Italy, Dubai and other destinations worldwide.
Alongside this, I continue my artistic career as Mike Violinist, bringing to the stage a project that blends electric violin, electronic music and live performance, while also producing and releasing original music.
Over the years, I’ve learned that I don’t see music and business as two separate lives. They both start from the same principle: turning an idea into something real, building the right people, skills and experiences around it.
That is exactly what I do today: create, develop and grow projects across entertainment, music and the creative industries.
Between strategy and creativity.
Between stage and business.
Between Italy, Dubai and the world.
