Musically compared to Bob Dylan and vocally compared to John Prine, this young man is extremely unique in his sound and his vocals.There can be no two like him.
His mesmerizing journey into the music industry began when he found an old Yamaha acoustic guitar, slightly damaged and worn inside a dumpster. It had no strings but with tender love and care he brought it back to life, so began his songwriting career.
He taught himself to play after watching Youtube video’s and as he became more familiar with the guitar it was destiny that the inspirational lyrics and melodies began to pour forth.
Chosen in 2011 to appear at a local Musicians Showcase at an annual music event in Arkansas, Michael was the only solo artist to be chosen out of over 200 bands.
