Biography

Often referred to as Mike P. to distinguish him from the Insane Clown Posse's long-time producer Mike E. Clark, he made his production debut with the group on Forgotten Freshness Vol. 3 and went on to produce the group's sixth Joker's card. The final Jokers Card of the Dark Carnival story. Puwal was discovered by ICP when he was hired to build the group its own studio, the Lotus Pod.

Previously, the group's recording sessions would take place at Mike E. Clark's Funhouse studio. During the process of building the new studio, it was revealed that Puwal was a noteworthy guitar player and producer. With their studio ties to Clark severed and a new producer available, ICP moved away from its producer of eight years and teamed up with Puwal.

After joining Psychopathic Records, Puwal started the label's rock group Zug Izland. He is the guitar player, producer and writer on the group's first two albums. In 2005, Zug Izland left Psychopathic Records and Puwal left the group. Mike E. Clark has since returned as producer.

Puwal produced tracks for fellow emcee Esham as well as his group Natas. Puwal has earned 9 number one's and 24 top ten's on the billboard charts. Puwal is now living in Nashville, Tennessee, writing and producing for national and independent artists.
