About Music by Michael
My Story
My Mission
My Mission
I got my first guitar when I was 8 years old. It was a Giannini classical guitar that I just loved. I wanted to learn every Beatles song, so I took lessons and started my musical journey. I wrote my first song when I was 13 - it sucked, but I was so proud to have finally written my own song. I have been writing and creating music since I was a teenager. Every song here has a story.

My Mission
I remember how certain songs gave me goosebumps or made me stop in my tracks to listen. Those kinds of songs affected me in a profound way. I write and and live my music with the hope that I can touch someone in that same deep way that moves or inspires them. If I can do that for just one person in this world, I will have been successful beyond my dreams. Thanks for visiting and listening!

About Us
Our history
In 2002, my barber introduced me to to another of his clients who was a record executive. I was coming out of a divorce and had just written 'Hearts on Fire' and thought it had great commercial potential. He connected me with Dave and Ronnie in Los Angeles and we recorded Hearts on Fire in Culver City, CA in April 2002. The rest is our history. Three albums later, we still love every song we've ever recorded and played.
Our sound
As musicians, our sound is deeply influenced by the timeless sounds of Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Tom Petty, UFO, The Beatles, Van Halen, Journey and others. Drawing inspiration from their pioneering contributions, we've developed our own style that blends the catchy, melodic hooks of the past with raw, emotive guitar work. We strive to write and play songs in many different styles, from those that have a real edge to emotive ballads of love and loss.
