WMC Action 5 News did a wonderful one on one segment on MIME’s David Porter to discuss MIME, his career, what he’s up to, and more!
The Bluff City is known worldwide as the Home of the Blues and Birthplace of Rock ‘n’ Roll. To kick off our 5 Star Stories Studio Sessions series, legendary soul man David Porter gave WMC Action News 5?s Kontji Anthony uncharted access to his music empire.

“I’ve always had a passion for music,” Porter explained.
His passion paid off with more than 2,000 song credits and a music catalog that has sold almost 400 million units, from Will Smith’s Getting’ Jiggy Wit It to Mariah Carey’s Dream Lover. In fact, Porter is one of the most sampled songwriters in the world and has become a go-to for hip-hop artists ever since rapper Biggie Smalls first sampled Porter in 1995.
