Mick is currently completing the debut album of a incredibly talented young singer / songwriter Dan Rowe / No Silence ...here is his story...
Mick started his career in 1968 in the band 'JACKO'. His brothers Pete and David Jackson were also members. Mick left the group in 1977 to pursue a solo career and thats when he had his first hit with the track ``You turn me on``. Encouraged by this success Mick and his brother Dave decided to write a track with their idol - Stevie Wonder - in mind. They wanted something funky, cool and with a definate 'feel good' vibe. It was the height of the 70's - Disco was massive and with this influence and with Stevie's soulful voice in mind they came up with a simple but effective track called ' Blame it on the Boogie'.
Mick's record company knew they were onto something special and so took it to the Midem Music Festival, Cannes. Listening in the audience was a member of 'The Jacksons' entourage who was scouting for some new sounds for the group who had not had a hit for nearly 2 years - he reported back to the USA with a story about a groovy disco track by an English guy called ( can you believe it! ) MICHAEL JACKSON.The Jackson's quickly produced a version for release and the rush was on to try and get it on the shelves ... the master copy of Micks version even went missing for several days at the printing plant strangly enough before turning up again ...Both tracks were on sale within days of each other and the ' Battle Of The Boogie' then commenced. Two artists - the same track - the same name AND in the charts at the same time - the newspapers loved the story and it made good reading for the public who watched with amusement as the songs worked their way up the charts.Micks follow up single - another disco track, called 'Weekend' was also a great success. Then followed several solo albums but Micks real passion lay in music writing and producing and as he spent more and more time in the studio he realised this was where he felt most comfortable.
Micks career as a top class music producer and writer followed naturally and that is how he is best known in the industry now.
CURRENTLY : Mick has written, performed and recorded the track's played here - these tracks are available to license at this time and are all unreleased material.....Please listen and enjoy....
