What Is Mike Skinner Doing Now

Ever wondered what happened to Mike Skinner, the man who brought us the cheeky chappie alter ego The Streets? You know, the guy who made grime music cool before it was cool? Well, buckle up, 'cause we're about to take a whirlwind tour through his post-Streets life. It's like a game of musical chairs, but with more beats and less sitting down.

From the Streets to the Studio

So, where did our mate Mike disappear to after hanging up his rapper hat? Well, he didn't go far. He just swapped the mic for a director's chair. That's right, folks! Mike Skinner is now a film director. Who would've thought, eh?

His first flick? A documentary about the 2012 London Olympics. Yep, you heard it right. The man who once rhymed about "dry your eyes, summer's in the sky" was now capturing the spirit of the games. Talk about a change of pace!

Mike Skinner, the Movie Buff

But Mike didn't stop at just one film. Oh no, he's been busy behind the scenes, working on a string of docs. There was one about the history of grime music, which is basically a history of Mike's own career. And another about the Battle of the Bands, because who doesn't love a bit of friendly competition?

And get this - he even directed a feature film! It's called "The Reason". No, it's not a sequel to "The Passion of the Christ". It's a drama about a guy trying to find out why his girlfriend dumped him. You know, typical Mike Skinner stuff.

Mike Skinner, the DJ

But Mike's not all about the movies. Oh no, he's still got his fingers in the music pie. He's been DJing all over the place. From festivals to clubs, he's been spinning tunes and getting the crowd hyped. And let's not forget his radio show on Beats 1. Every week, he's playing the tunes that get him going. It's like a musical version of "What Mike Ate for Breakfast".

And if that wasn't enough, he's also been producing music for other artists. Yep, you heard it right. The man who once said "I got more lines than a telephone box" is now helping others find their voice.

Mike Skinner, the Family Man

But what about his personal life, you ask? Well, Mike's been keeping that pretty low-key. He's a dad now, can you believe it? Yep, little Mike Skinners are running around somewhere, probably causing mischief just like their dad used to.

And get this - he's even married! To a woman, not another bloke. Sorry to disappoint all you Mike Skinner fan club members. But hey, good for him, right?

So, What's Next for Mike Skinner?

Who knows what's next for our mate Mike? Maybe he'll direct a grime musical. Or maybe he'll produce the next big pop hit. Or maybe he'll just chill out and enjoy being a dad. Whatever it is, you can bet it'll be something unexpected. After all, this is the man who once said "I can talk for England, but I'd rather talk for me".

So there you have it, folks. A whirlwind tour through the life and times of Mike Skinner. It's been a wild ride, hasn't it? Here's to the next chapter. Cheers, Mike!
