Michael McAda
Welcome to my Escape. My music is a form of self-expression of my inner most being. It is like the subconcious screaming out to be heard before it is placed back inside to live in silence....
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Presently working on making History or being part of it.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I have played live at Retama in Alice Texas. Also played at ACTS program as well as church benefits. I always wanted to experience new things which broadens the mind with each new endeavor.
Your musical influences
I was influenced by Jet (especially the song Look What You've Done ), the Beatles,Joan Jett, Neil young, Crosby, stils, Nash & Young, Bon Jovi, George Harrison, Sepiroth,and the 60's peace movements. Also the 70's musics rock era...Our group namely michael mcada or mmcada have been influenced mainly by our Experiences. At times a keyword will spark a song or a picture or show. Music should cause an emotion to be transferred to the listener and the best way to write a song is through writing about a personal experience. So I would have to say my surroundings and situations are my biggest influences.
Finger Picking, Strumming chords as well as a heavy crunching guitar have definitely influenced my music as well as my style of playing which many will call unique or one of a kind. Definitely playing outside of the box.
What equipment do you use?
Currently Using Fender F-15 Accoutic Guitar, and Gibson J-185 Accoustic. My electric guitars consist of a Gibson Epiphone SG Electric Guitar for recording (cheap guitar but unbelievably comfortable and smoothe to play). Digitech RP-X 400 Processor which I use in my Studio which I use it considerably for recording purposes.
Anything else?
In our music, you will find a wide assessment of styles as well as instruments or effects. Effects can be anything from Children playing in a schoolyard or park to the wind blowing past a window or even a Pot or Pan from the Kitchen (as long as its empty). Music can be made with simple ideas and once placed in an order and rhythum it will flow nicely and will usually astonish people as to how it was made in the first place.
