Horry County Councilman Mike Masciarelli, known for his work in District 8, has been sharing his music on YouTube under the handle @UnionManMikey. His channel features original songs, including ‘Union Man’ and ‘Chosen Few’, which have gained tens of thousands of views.
From Marine to Musician
Masciarelli’s background is diverse, having served in the U.S. Marine Corps, worked in law enforcement, and held a position on Wall Street. He currently sells real estate in the Myrtle Beach area under the brand ‘Mikey Mash’. His music, however, offers a different side of the councilman, one that showcases his talent and faith.
The song ‘Union Man’ is not a policy anthem but a reflection of working people in hard times looking for hope. Masciarelli describes his music as Christian and inspirational light rock, aiming to inspire and uplift his listeners.
A New Direction
Masciarelli’s decision to share his music publicly is a deliberate choice, giving voters a glimpse into his life beyond politics. As he runs for re-election, his music adds a personal touch to his campaign, showcasing his creativity and passion.
For District 8 residents, Masciarelli’s music is a reminder that the people making local decisions carry lives outside the council chamber. Whether his music finds a larger audience remains to be seen, but for now, it offers a unique perspective on a public figure.
