He grew up influenced by Fairuz, Zaki Nassif, Charles Aznavour and Brel. Despite the unstable situation in Lebanon, Mike started taking piano lessons at the age of nine. In 1996, he joined the National High Conservatory of Music, and at the age of seventeen, he specialized in the Arabic opera. His musical curiosity led him to explore the Andalusian mouwachahat, as well as oriental and occidental singing, along with his classical piano education.
In 2001, his passion for theatre led him to join the Faculty of Fine Arts where he obtained his degree in Drama. At the same time, he took Jazz Ballet dancing courses at the dance school Arabesque. Mike has collaborated with the most important artists in Lebanon and the Arab world, from Lebanon to Egypt, Syria, Abu Dhabi, Algeria, Morocco, to the Netherlands, Italy and Belgium, where he performed in big festivals and toured with internationally known musicians and artists. His talent as an actor was discovered by many directors and scriptwriters, who offered him many roles in television and in cinema, in addition to short films, plays and musicals.
The year 2003 was a landmark in his career, because Mike released his first album of spiritual hymns entitled "Ila Ssama Atbaouka". In 2008, he composed the music of the documentary "Itsy Bitsy Spider" by Tania Nasr. A year later, he wrote, composed, and arranged "Sayf W Layl", an album featuring the Lebanese singer Nada, combining oriental melodies with Latin and jazz arrangements from the 1950s. In 2010, he wrote the original soundtrack of the film "Tannoura Maxi" by the director Joe Bou Eid, which was released in 2012. He has also presented his album "Ya Zaman", which he describes as a portrait of the Lebanese oriental man.

Mike Massy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
لو بسرق شي جانح
ابرم كل المطارح
حلّق لبعيد
لو فيي طير
لو بسرق شي جانح
ابرم كل المطارح
وصرخ بالجو العالي
وانده غيمة مخباية
وخلي الافكار الي ببالي تجنني وطير
وصرخ بالجو العالي
وانده غيمة مخباية
وخلي الافكار الي ببالي تجنني وطير
لو فيي طير
اهرب من خوف امبارح
انسى هالعمر الجارح
سافر لبعيد
لو فيي طير
اهرب من خوف امبارح
انسى هالعمر الجارح
سافر لبعيد
وصرخ بالجو العالي
وانده غيمة مخباية
وخلي الافكار الي ببالي تجنني وطير
وصرخ بالجو العالي
وانده غيمة مخباية
وخلي الافكار الي ببالي تجنني وطير
The lyrics of "Law Fiyyi Tir" by Mike Massy reflect the desire for escape from a difficult or oppressive situation. The opening line "If I had wings" sets the tone for the idea that the singer feels limited by their circumstances and wishes they could soar to freedom. The next few lines suggest that the singer might resort to stealing to achieve their goal, or perhaps they feel that they must take drastic action to escape their troubles. They declare that they would "break all barriers" and take flight towards a distant destination.
The chorus repeats the sentiment of the opening lines, with the singer calling out to the sky and imagining themselves as a bird soaring away from their problems. The lyrics suggest that this flight would allow them to forget their painful past and all the bitterness they've endured. The final line, "And let the thoughts in my mind drive me crazy and fly," implies that the singer wants to let go of their worries and simply let their imagination carry them away.
Overall, the song is a powerful expression of the human desire for freedom and escape, and the yearning for a better life.

لو فيي طير
If I had wings
لو بسرق شي جانح
I would steal something risky
ابرم كل المطارح
I would brave all obstacles
حلّق لبعيد
And fly far away
وصرخ بالجو العالي
I would scream at the top of my lungs
وانده غيمة مخباية
And call out to a hidden cloud
وخلي الافكار الي ببالي تجنني وطير
And let my thoughts drive me crazy and soar
اهرب من خوف امبارح
I would run away from yesterday's fears
انسى هالعمر الجارح
Forget the painful past
سافر لبعيد
And travel far away
