Bio:A unique 21st Century vocalist and innovative guitarist. Michael's music is filled with heartfelt passionate lyrics and guitar work like no other. A strong 70's rock influence is prominent in the straight up acoustic strummers with strong edgy vocals, yet Michael's ballads reveal a soft side.

When the neighbors would complain about the noise, she would say "Why don't you mind your own business, he's a good boy, he's on my property and he's not causing any trouble". While in high school, I played with the rock band Mystic, filling the lead guitar and lead vocal spot. I had all kinds of gigs in the Phoenix Metro area. I did birthday parties, benefits, arcade grand openings and just about any other excuse you could think of to have a live band present.
I became notorious for playing no less than a 20 minute guitar solo when I had a live gig. In addition to various rock bands, I was also a member of the Paradise Valley High School Jazz Band. My junior year in high school, Scotty Johnson of The Gin Blossoms was a member of the Jazz band playing a classic Gibson hollow body. The band director was an older gentleman that frowned upon rock music, and was less than pleased when the improv jazz guitar solos had rock overtones. In spite of this, the director presented me with an outstanding musical achievement award my senior year in high school. After high school I hooked up with some local rock bands, Axis and D-Zyne in addition to others. They were more established and had paying gigs. During this period, I worked with these bands in a front man vocalist capacity exclusively. Also during this time I took vocal lessons for three years. The vocal lessons greatly improved my vocal control, range, sustain and exposed me to numerous styles of music. Currently, I am writing, recording and performing original music.
