One Direction Left... From Hell
GRAMMY AWARD WINNER PAUL BUCKMASTER SAYS;
"Michael Drive is a skilled and talented singer/songwriter, who crafts powerful and inspired songs. He is also an experienced and competent instrumentalist and producer; in the studio as when actually writing the material. Very well produced and very interesting sounding. In his lyrics, Michael is Driven by a desire for truth, and his music reflects that."
PLATINUM RECORDING STAR CHI COLTRANE SAYS;
"Usually in the case of a rock band, if you take away the band and just leave the singer with the guitar, it's not very impressive; but in Drive's case, it's completely different. If you were to take away the band, you would see that he shines; like a multi-faceted diamond. His voice is unique... his musicianship, and his songwriting are excellent."
Michael Drive was born and raised in Los Angeles, California.
Grown into a blooming tree out of the roots of a band called Barren Cross in which he was lead singer; writer/composer; and guitarist… Michael Drive is definitely back!
Fast forward to 2003, he lives in Paris France, as well as different parts of Europe: Michael Drive returns in his approach to success quite different from the average band or musician. Two years previous, he buys a motor home, transforms it into a recording studio, and begins recording and touring much of France, Germany, and Switzerland. He records his new material with musicians he crosses on the road; simultaneously while performing shows at venues that he books on the road wherever he is at the time. He also plays as opener for popular European artists such as DePalmas (France). His music often carries messages (not heard much in rock) of encouragement to people, and awareness of one's place in society, with songs such as; "One Direction Left... From Hell", "Show Them What You're Made Of", "The Right To Bleed", and "Power". His driving grooves, penetrating guitars, a mix of intoxicating energy and melodic curves are constantly innovative, yet accessible, and Michael Drive delivers integrity with every soulful beat.

From his roots as singer and writer in Barren Cross, he continues to write heart-wrenching songs that have, on many occasions, compelled the fans to send letters, write emails, and blogs on the songs. As the title of his new album states; "One Direction Left... From Hell"; Michael Drive is non-wavering and poised on a steady course in one unique direction...
