"Mike Fees - Music in Motion"

About Me

I was born and raised in Offenburg (Germany). My mother, a Milwaukee native, introduced me to the exciting world of music at a very early age! Being a semi-professional Musical & Opera singer there was no way for me to get around listening to her rehearsing on the family piano. At the age of 8 my family and I moved to Kansas where I discovered my first love for hand made music, however not realizing that before we moved back to Germany several years later! Encouraged by Erwin Meyer, one of the worlds most renowned organists, I started taking small leads in school concerts and other smaller events! Not knowing what I was getting myself into I voluntered to take the main role in a Musical which premiered in Paris in 1997. Due to the local media attention I was getting in my hometown I was approached by Eric Babak, a Musicproducer for Warner, now living and working out of Cyprus. I became a member of the group N2L performing at festivals all over Germany. We shared the stage with groups/artists like "The Weather Girls", "Jeanette", "Michael Johnson" (US5), "Melanie Thornton", "Fresh Caramel", "Mr. President", "Mickey Graham" (Boyzone), "Brooklyn Bounce", "It Girls" and many others. In 2000, Hypetraxx-Manager Pete Traynor asked me to help out for a couple shows because one of the members was unable to continue the project. I filled in for three shows hooking up with HYPETRAXX mastermind & creator Frank K.! After playing several shows and touring all over Europe I again decided to reroute my musical ambitions! Influenced by artists like Dave Mathews and Jack Johnson I founded "The Unplugged Band" together with Benny G., M.C.Patten & M.D. Roehm better known as Groovepimmel! After 2 years of touring I moved to Homburg, Germany where I'm currently working on new songs! Here are some of the bands I've played with and am still playing with: .. The Unplugged Band .. The Womanizers .. X-pression .. Hot Staff .. Soulfamily .. Midnight Mover (guest) .. Get fresh (guest) .. Sonrise (guest) .. HYPETRAXX .. Never2Late (N2L) Here is a list of people I have performed with over the years: Alvin Mills, Andreas Hillesheim, Anthony Halligan, Benny G., Caroline Pirulli, Christian Ammann, Claus Mueller, Clint Grimes, Dave Chow, David Readman, Dieter Juergens, Dominik Krämer, Elmar Federkeil, Frank Kunicke, Holger Kalenda, Isaac Roosevelt, Jan Hees, Jan Stürmer, Juergen Molter, Klyive, Lars Vollmer, M.C.
