A rebirth arrives on the dance floor. Prolific pop artist and virtuoso pianist Saint Micah opens a brand-new era with the high-intensity dance-pop single “The Grind,” out now via Case Doce Music. Produced by Fernando Garibay, known for his work with Lady Gaga, and co-written with Simon Wilcox and Ramiro Padilla, the track pulls listeners straight into the rush of the club, a place to leave the work week behind and shed the public persona.
The song carries real personal weight. “The Grind” explores the friction between who society says you should be and who you are at your core, mirroring the artist’s own path. Equal parts ascension and reclamation, the Saint Micah moniker represents Micah McLaurin becoming the artist he wants to be, building on his lived truth rather than being controlled by it.
McLaurin speaks openly about what’s behind the name. He describes the single as a meditation on the duality between a work personality and a true self, and frames Saint Micah as a way of taking control of his own life. Sent to conversion therapy as a child, he says his mission since has been to undo that experience and rise above it without asking permission.
The momentum is already building. Saint Micah landed on Spotify Wrapped’s Best of Fresh Finds Pop 2025 following the viral success of his Latin-infused single “Remember Me,” a featured track on Spotify’s Obsessed playlist. Official remixes from chart-topping DJs Majestic and Until Dawn hit Music Week’s Pop Club Chart at No. 6, while “Satisfied” and “Baboom” both cracked the Top 10. Recent singles “Dancing With My Broken Heart” and “How Can I” keep adding to his millions of global streams.
His reach stretches well past music. Saint Micah has drawn the attention of major names across music and fashion, collaborating with producer duo PhD, creative director Nicola Formichetti, designer Zaldy, and brands including Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen, and Vivienne Westwood.
