Michael writes thoughtful, reflective lyrics and adds smooth melodies and flowing harmony. This music is always easy on the ears, and is best when listened to with headphones. The lyrics are probing, personal and psychological, but written so that we can use the symbolism and find the message within. He writes about relationships, love, life, death the future and the past.

Soft Rock/New Age/Psychological/Easy Listening/Folk/Electronic

Why this name?
Because it is um....my name
Do you play live?
Yes, in my room. Recently I did some open Mikes. I will do more in the future. I have performance "issues".
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
This, to me, is the free music revolution. I do not believe that all music should be free. I believe that it should be up to the artist. If she is signed, she probably wants royalties. If he is not, he wants recognition, and wants as many people as possible to hear his stuff so that one day he will sell his music or simply become well known. A place like this can give millions of people a chance to share their own music, music that they created themselves.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
no way ...never....well maybe..oh probably
