IF THERE'S ONE THING THIS GUY CAN DO WITHOUT, it's labels. Boxes are his enemy and genres his kryptonite. He sometimes flirts with his old flame Kleeshay only to soon forsake her (though he'll be the first to admit, he's made a few booty calls). Sometimes surprising, often original and always honest, he can usually be found playing with words, wording with plays, and attempting to bridge the gap between high art and low, overthought and improvised, "snobby" and "slacker." But there we go with the labels already. Drop the labels and pick up the ladles because what he's cookin' is SOUP!
Michael started playing the piano when he was four years old, and as the saying (kind of) goes, it was love at first song. His fingers never felt more at home than resting between the ivories. To this day he plays as much as he can, often annoying the heck out of his downstairs neighbors with his rock-out pedal-pumpin' and key-slammin'.
