In the early spring of 2005 Mike picked up a guitar after being away from it for several years while learning the basics of piano and violin. In the fall of 2005 he set forward in his steps to attain better knowledge of how music works rather than knowing how to read it. As he continues his journey of life he plays soulful acoustic pop and ventures into the rock scene when circumstances warrant. He writes all of his own lyrics from thoughts, concepts, and personal experiences and beliefs. He is releasing a CD called "THOUGHTS" in the near future.
