About Me

Magno – derived from the Latin adjective magna, meaning “of greatness”… Somewhere in the definition, Michael Magno inherited the drive to become a great singer/songwriter. Spoon-fed his musicality from radio-loving parents, Michael wrote his first song at 14 and has never looked back. By today’s standards, you can compare him to the likes of David Gray and John Mayer, accented with a smooth voice reminiscent of Sting or Bono. As a Florida transplant living in Atlanta, Michael performs his acoustic rock-style solo or with the help of his band mates known as the Villains. His sound is an organic blend of rock, pop and soul, undeniably fresh and contagious. Inspired by gracious amounts of coffee, pop culture and the now, Magno’s songs are a personal invite into familiarity. They convey broad outlooks on life, love, heartbreak and happiness, while letting his listeners embrace each song in their own singularity. Live performances showcase Magno’s natural abilities: his pristine voice, his comfortable demeanor onstage and undeniable conviction through music and lyrics. Poised for greatness, Magno’s ‘rockstar’ attitude and boy-next-door smile continues to draw a growing legion of fans, validating this singer/songwriter’s place in the music industry.
