Your Character
You first meet Micah on the street outside of the Overknight Records building but don't recognize him. When Ellis introduces you to him, you're flabbergasted as you are aware of his work but did not know how young he was. After work that night, if you don't choose to dance with either Avery or Raleigh at the club, you will dance with him and Zadie instead, not caring if anyone sees. He helps you over the next couple months (in Chapter 6 and 7) to produce your album. In Chapter 8, he is with you and your friends at your apartment when your album is released.

Ellis Knight
Even though Micah is a freelance producer, he is hired by Ellis to oversee your debut album.

Stepback Three
Micah is a huge fan of Stepback Three and you note that you see Micah get visibly flustered for the first time when meeting his idol in Chapter 9. Stepback, however, is refusing to shake Micah's hand and instead laughs at the fact that the famous Ozone turns out to be so young, thinking Micah would still go to middle school. Your help only makes it worse, as Stepback gets angry and leaves. When you check on Micah, he just tells you he is fine and "Never meet your heroes, right?" before he strides away.

In Chapter 12, Micah finally puts Stepback in his place, which causes Stepback to reconsider his attitude and words. During his lifetime achievement award, Stepback gives kudos to Micah and breaks his award in half, giving the younger man half of it as a gesture.
