Mikey Peterson is a Chicago-based singer-songwriter and video-audio artist . He records and performs as a solo musician, crafting sparse yet melodic songs with his band The Trust featuring Tom Stukel on drums, Alex Rodriguez on bass and violinist/vocalist Ingrid Oscarsson. He also composes electronic-based experimental pop music under the moniker EM Danger, and as The Duende Bros has partnered with poet Eric Elshtain to develop a inimitable form of musical dance poetry. Mikey also creates experimental collage-based video art that focuses on rhythm, sound, and organic abstraction having shown work locally and internationally at festivals such as the Performance Intermedia Festival in Szczecin, Poland, the Chicago Calling Arts Festival in Chicago, IL, Zero Filme Project in Lisbon and Braga, Portugal and at the Short Sited film exhibition at the University of Chicago’s Smart Museum.
