Times may be uncertain right now for us as creators, but that doesn't give us a reason not to create. My name is Michael. I am a singer-songwriter born and raised in SoCal. My goal is to help tell your stories as authentically as possible. I specialize in topline, melody crafting on top of existing chord progressions in the pop spectrum.

I've been singing since I was 4 and have been doing music professionally for many years and have garnered a myriad of experience performing. My work has been featured on mediums such as television, radio, and through various online content via livestreams. Music is what I do fulltime and I truly love what I do. My goal in every project is to help tell your story as best as possible. When we are truthful in our work, it resonates with the world.

Music is a great way to bring people together, especially during times like these.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have. Happy creating.

  2. A: My last EP, "breaking habits." is by far my most personal and vulnerable record to date. I am proud of it because it required me to step way out of my comfort zone and be open to the moment.

  4. A: I would like to work with anyone who is passionate about what they do. If you truly love what you do, I'm already interested. I also believe in a no "ego" policy. Let's check all that at the door and make the best piece of art as we can.

  5. Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

  25. Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

  26. A: I would say to have an idea of what you want as much as possible. The more information you can provide me, the better I can help. If you're going for an indie feel, please make note of that in your pitch. You don't have to have all the answers.
