Born 18 years ago in Canada to Venezuelan and Slavic anarchists, Misha Hercules had no choice but to be passionate, eclectic, and unconventional. Genetically endowed with perfect pitch and a sense of beauty, immersed in music since infancy, Misha has used his classical violin and piano background and his love of the guitar and rock to express the music that lives within him. Now somewhat settled in Mississippi after having played with a number of bands during several nomadic years, he has decided to front his own alternative rock group playing his original music.


Misha Hercules' songs are an oasis of emotion, drama, and musicality in the desert of todays musical wasteland. Featuring strong vocals, powerful guitars, crafted arrangements, and a mature yet youthful energy, his music enables listeners of all age groups to rediscover the why and wherefore of rock. Ranging from an aggressive in-your-face style to romantic ballads, Misha's songs display his versatility and, once heard, find a place for themselves inside your head.


Misha Hercules is an independent artist whose self-titled first CD has just been expertly recorded at The Laboratory in Jackson, Mississippi. The album consists of ten of Misha's original songs and was produced by him as well as by Chris Michaels and Matt Pleasant of The Laboratory. Mastering was done by Jim DeMain and Marc Chevalier at Yes Master in Nashville.

He performed the vocals on the album in addition to playing guitar, keyboards, piano, and bass. Misha was delighted to be accompanied by a collection of accomplished local musicians in the recording studio. The rock solid rhythm section consisted of Timothy Cotton of The Electric Company on drums and Daniel Glass, Misha's longtime musical partner, on bass. Chris Michaels and Joshua Clark of Living Better Electrically joined in - Chris created magic on keyboards while Joshua displayed his customary guitar brilliance. And, last but not least, Matt Pleasant of Still Stanley added his virtuoso shredding guitar skills to the sound mix.
