Hey yall, i'm Michael! I actually have old songs on here and will not be taking them down, BUT I am going to start putting new ones up...it's been a while since I been on here, but I am just now having the time to really dig into this side of my work. So thanks in advance for giving me a chance:0)

Michael
Why this name?
It's my real name, so it kind of just came to me:) lol
Do you play live?
Yeah, I play all the time, whenever, wherever...sometimes you can catch me in Hollywood Venues, sometimes you can catch me on the Santa Monica pier or the streets of Hollywood just playin' for crowds:)
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Very much so...it's the future of music. Everything is digital and in a world where children don't understand anything but "instant" it is important to understand your medium.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
It depends on the stiulations of the contract. I currently am doing just fine, but should I be approached with the right offer, business is business...:)
Your influences?
I am a melting pot of sorts. I listen to everything from Jon B to John Mayer, from Michael Jackson to Prince, from Josh Groben to Say Anything. From Smashing Pumpkins to Silverstein. Literally any and everything. Some people you should look up if you REALLY wanna know what gets me going...Svoy...he is an AMAZING artist...you can find him on myspace.
Favorite spot?
Probably where I reside...the City of Lost Angels "city of lost souls" lol
Equipment used:
Everything. My keys are generally a baby grand to a Motif 8 to an Oasys...my strings are generally everything from Fenders to Johnsons, and my programs of choice are Logic, Pro Tools, and Fruity loops
