Mike Tichy

grew up in Parsippany, NJ. Been playing guitar since junior high. played in original band Scooby Groove all through high-school. Graduated from Berklee College of Music in 98 i think. Always been writing songs and recording. I also play drums, piano, bass, have a lapharp, a sitar, and a ukelele which i can kinda get by on. ive made 3 CDs since 2000. played all around NY, NY, PA solo and with band. did a few solo tours of the southeast in 2001. Had 4 songs on Artist Amplification compilation CDs. 2 songs in independent film "just add pepper". made a vid for "bottom of the hill" which is a bonus feature if you get the DVD. I didnt play out too much 2005-2006, just did tons of writing and recording at home. i put some of the newer songs up. also did music for a commercial aired on OLN and wrote and recorded music for a friends silent film.
