Mike Katz

Born and raised in Los Angeles, I developed a passion for music at a young age. I began playing the piano at the age of five and later expanded my skills to several other instruments. In 1991, I attended the California State Summer School for the Arts (CSSSA), where I honed my abilities in film and video production, editing, and composing.

In my 20s, I focused on music production, refining my skills with various home studio software. I performed at several shows and eventually evolved into my current musical project, Huh Ming Birds. During this time, I also earned an Associate of Science Degree in Computer Programming and Software Technology from Westwood College of Technology.

Throughout my career, I have worked across diverse industries, including IT, retail, and education. Currently, I serve as an Administrative Assistant at the University of Southern California (USC), where I manage a range of clerical duties, such as equipment inspection and recording, class setup and breakdown, and shipment verification.

My previous roles include positions as an IT Department employee at I.T.R.C., a Client Support Specialist at Boink Systems Incorporated, a Data Administrator/Cash Handler at Arclight Hollywood, and an Assistant Manager at Penny Lane Records and Rhino Records. My diverse skill set encompasses customer service, information technology, and administrative functions, including composing and producing business correspondence, coordinating meetings, planning events, and conducting data analysis.

I am highly motivated with a proven track record of success in various roles. My specialized skills include affiliate marketing, graphic design, and web design. I am proficient in a range of software programs, including Gmail, Excel, WordPress, Suitcase, StuffIt Expander, Corel Suite, HitPath, Photoshop, PHP, HTML, CSS3, JavaScript, and Ableton Live.
