About Me

Hello Myspace, my name is Michael. I am a singer/songwriter/guitarist from Boulder, Colorado, where I currently reside to go to college at the University. I've had minimal training as a jazz guitarist and have had no singing or vocal coaching whatsoever, but I intend to learn and get some. I ended up as mainly a singer/songwriter type of musician simply because it felt right to me. I love the fact that I could pick up a guitar, make up a melody, put whatever words that I wanted to fit into it… and viola, I had written a song. The intention of my music is to relate to anyone, and I know I'm going to be more creative in the future in about my songwriting, as there is still so much unwritten to me... I don’t care what people make my music about, as long as they can get some sort of meaning from my songs if they choose to do so. People are entitled to their own opinions and in regards to my own songs, they are what they are... and I really like that.
