Early life
Mike More's mother died in a car accident when he was young. She was hit by a drunk driver and More inherited a large sum of money, which he used to build a recording studio. He attended the High School of the Performing Arts for music (Class of 1984),[2] and met his musical partner, Orfeh, there. Their first recording endeavor was with CBS Records as the group Genevha (sic). They released a two song vinyl, Life in the Movies, in 1987. His credits on the album were under the pseudonym of Amadayus Billionaire. After that project, they formed Or-N-More, and signed with EMI Records, where they experienced mild success. Their self-titled debut album went gold, and the single, "Everyotherday", became a hit stateside and abroad. However, after a hierarchy change at EMI, they were dropped from the label.
