"He is an artist that is already touching his peers through a vibrant on-line presence of his songs. Hats off to Peter Edge for bringing Mike into the company. We are excited."

Posner states, "I can't think of a better way to start my senior year of college than by signing a record deal with J Records. I've been hard at work in the studio all summer and can't wait to share my music with the world."
