My Take
Mike Howlett intrigues me as the rare figure who is equally at home as performer, producer and teacher. Born in Lautoka, Fiji, and now based across the UK and Australia, he plays bass, shapes records behind the glass, and passes the craft on as an educator. I have a soft spot for music people who work in the shadows yet hold the whole architecture of a song in their hands. His path from a Pacific island to the studio and the classroom suggests genuine curiosity and discipline. He is not a spotlight chaser, and that understated, foundational role is exactly why I respect him.
