He enjoys a wide range of musical idioms and styles, from Baroque to Punk to Jazz to Pop, Folk, Soul, Rap (some), World, Reggae, Blues, Rock or whatever sounds good. He is known to be keen on the Rolling Stones, having attended three of their shows so far. Mikel does consider presentation and stage presence to be crucial aspects of a musical performance. "I always try to get through to the person who isn't quite ready to party" says Rollins; "It ought to be your high point of the day, if you can get to see some good music". Many of his listeners agree.
