Perfume Genius is the musical moniker of Los Angeles-based musician Mike Hadreas. Perfume Genius as a project was born in 2008, and he put out his highly acclaimed debut record Learning in 2010. Since then, the Grammy-nominated experimental/art pop musician has collaborated with artists like Phoebe Bridgers and Christine and The Queens, brands like Prada, and released six more studio albums. His latest record, Glory, dropped earlier this year, and you can check it out here. Perfume Genius goes on tour next month with support from Urika’s Bedroom and Storefront Church. Until then, Mike is here to tell us what he’s been into.
