He has produced original music since the late 1970s. Mike actively promoted his music in the 1980s in an effort to secure a recording or publishing deal. In the 1990s, after becoming disenchanted with the formulaic approach record labels were insisting on, he and his brother wrote and recorded original music at their 4-track home studio.

In 2018, Mike released his follow-up album, Hollow Moon which contains 8 original songs. Hollow Moon was remixed and remastered in November 2023.
In May 2023, Mike released his third album No More Gods, consisting of 10 original tracks.
Currently, Mike and his brother have launched the Yesteryear Project, which is an initiative to re-record and publish their unreleased demos from 40 years ago. The goal is to release 10-12 songs by the end of 2025. You can check out the progress of the project on SoundCloud: tinyurl.com/fb4p56pk, and purchase the final tracks at Bandcamp: mikewilliams2.bandcamp.com/.
