About Me


Here is a video taken of my performance at Tranquil Cafe in Second Life. I want to thank all my SL friends for helping me do what I love to do. Pause the music player to hear the songs on the video.
Michael writes thoughtful, reflective lyrics, adding smooth melodies with flowing harmony. His music is always easy on the ears with lyrics that can be probing, personal and psychological, yet written so that we can use the symbolism and find the message within. The songs are about relationships, love, life, death, the future and the past.

I don't think my equipment was properly grounded...notice the sparks?
Music on the internet (or mp3) and the music industry? "This, to me, is the free music revolution. I believe that it should be up to the artist to offer his music for free listening. If the artist needs this to make a living, he/she probably wants to get paid. The unsigned artist usually wants recognition, and wants as many people as possible to hear the music. A place like this can give millions of people a chance to share music that they created themselves." ~Mic
For each 'No Songs' CD sold, Michael will donate
$2.00 to the Coalition for Disabled Musicians.
