The Team
Mike Boyko
Founder and Chief Tempo Officer
Mike has a lifelong passion for rhythm, music and sports. A professional drummer for the last 20 years, Mike has performed around the world with A-list groups of the music industry. Some highlights include drumming for heavy metal band Ludichrist/Scatterbrain and UK pop-rock band FAT, which toured with Smashmouth, Third Eye Blind and Sugar Ray. Most recently Mike played with hip-hop rock band 2 Skinnee J's, which opened for Outkast, Ludacris, Jurassic 5, Incubus and 311. Also an avid and competitive athlete in golf, ice hockey and a myriad of other sports, Mike couldn't help but translate his percussion background and knowledge of rhythm to athletic performance. With the consultation of golf professionals across the country, Mike applied his idea of utilizing beats and music to practice proper swing tempo. He composed and recorded the proprietary music tracks that comprise the Tempo in Motion system and then opened up Tempo in Motion as a platform for signed and unsigned musicians to share their music with a broader audience.
