About Me

I'm a singer, guitarist and producer of electronic music and create releases with a mix of styles, from straightforward electronic dance music through to vocal and guitar laced hybrids of rock and club music.

I currently have two completed releases comprising my work since 2005 - 'Night Begins' is my entry into the world of electronica and consists largely of dance tracks - trancey and ambient in nature & with and without vocals. 'Neural Miss Connections' is a 50/50 mix of ambient/techno themed songs and hybrids of rock & electronica, also laced with guitar and vocals throughout.

I operate under the free music model. Download as many of my tunes as you want and I ask that you donate only what you want, when and if you can and only if you love the tunes. Download my music for free at my website WPS Music

If you are interested in using my vocals and or lyric writing in a collaborative effort and want to hear what I can do with someone else's music, check out my lyric and vocal demos at worldpresssecretary.com

My goal is to create tracks equally at home on the dance floor and in your headphones, using anything I can find or create, from my guitar with the distortion cranking to my keys on country fiddle voice... from the latest canned commercial trance loop to my own lyrics and vocals.

I currently live with my family in SE Pennsylvania in the USA. I have also lived in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia for a bit in the late 90s and have a special affinity for the only other place I called home.

Thanks for choosing to spend a moment of your valuable time listening to my tunes and I always appreciate ANY comments you may have. Have a great one. Cheers - Mike
