Michael Sheldon (new song 7/28/09)

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)I love to write music and lyrics and I have written over 200 songs in the past 8 years. Some, as the front man to a pop-punk group called Shurmen Steadfast where I had the opportunity to play with many of my good friends: Jason Reando, Andy Ball, Levi Johnson, Ryan Severson, Luke Hobbs, and Jeff White. We recorded our debut album with Scott Silletta of Plankeye, Fanmail, The Franchise, and My Compatriots in the role of engineer and producer and were eventually signed to his indie label, Vanishing Point Records. It was a great experience, but not as great as the one I find myself in now, a husband with two beautiful daughters. Songwriting has become a therapeutic hobby where I am able to express my thoughts on social, political, spiritual, and personal philosophies. I'm not trying to be famous, but I was taught to share. So here are my humble offerings and musings. I hope you enjoy.
Sincerely,
Michael Sheldon
