About Me

photos from the amazon...Michael Passons, a native of Yazoo City, Mississippi, is the founding member of the Christian band Avalon. After moving to Nashville in 1990, he began to meet and collaborate with friends in the music industry which ultimately led to him receiving an offer to help assemble a band with Sparrow Records (EMI) in 1995. The band made their debut November of 1995 in San Jose, California at the start of the multi-city arena tour "The Young Messiah" along side such legendary artists as Steven Curtis Chapman, CeCe Winans, and Michael W. Smith. This proved to be an excellent launching pad for the foursome who later garnered two gold records, countless number one hits, 6 GMA awards, 3 GRAMMY nominations, a 2003 American Music Award for "Favorite Artist Contemporary Inspiration", and their hit song "Testify to Love" would eventually be named one of the top gospel songs of all time. After eight years with Avalon, Michael departed to seek out a new path in his music career which has included an opening spot on tour with Christian super group Point of Grace.
