About Me

His Father served in the Air Force and was disabled working in a coal mines. His Mother raised three older brothers and two older sisters. Michael moved to North Carolina and grew up around Cameron, but spent time in Chattanooga TN. He wrote his first lyrics in 5th grade (for a girl he had a crush on). He taught himself guitar at age 16. Currently, Michael is engaging his songwriting abilities in the hopes of becoming a paid songwriter with a known publisher in Nashville, TN..
