"Mike Dreams (formerly known as Mike Dreams & born as Michael Alexander Hannah on November 13, 1988)  is an unsigned independent hip hop artist from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
He grew up on the south side of Minneapolis, Minnesota and began getting interested in hip hop music as early as 4 years old.  As a youngster, he performed in many of Minneapolis; community talent shows at local libraries, parks and churches.  As he continued through his Jr. and Sr. High School years, he became an extensive poetry writer, being published in national anthologies and gaining nominations for Amateur Poet of the Year on multiple occasions.  After high school graduation, Mike Dreams began a serious career as a professional artist.
Mike Dreams works heavily in his community in the Twin Cities by devoting time, efforts and concerns to issues he feels are important, including peace building, the fight against gang and street violence, anti-misogyny (the movement against the hatred of women), education of minorities, support for immigration and immigrant rights and the advocacy for Christianity and the beliefs he was raised upon.  Due to this, his music contains no expletives whatsoever.  He served as the main performing act at the Midwest Regional PeaceJam International celebration ceremony for 2003 Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Shirin Ebadi of Iran in March 2007 at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN and headlined along with Twin Cities rap group “Big Quarters” at the 2008 PeaceJam Celebration for Archbishop Desmond Tutu in April 2008 at the North Minneapolis Service Project.  Mike Dreams is also currently on the “youthrive LIVE! Concert Series across Minnesota and the Midwest at elementary, junior and senior high schools, a traveling concert tour promoting peace through hip hop with notable Twin Cities artists including Scribble Jam 2006 Beatbox Champ “DJ Snuggles”, Maria Isa, Dancing Dave and Hypel (Hope Youth Power & Everlasting Life).   Mike Dreams and the tour have performed in various schools around Minnesota, the Red Wing Correctional Facility, the 2008 National Youth Leadership Conference and most recently, the Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America.
