Stepping on the scene is a guy with aspirations to make his mark in the music industry. John Michael (singer/song writer/producer/musician), a 22 year old New Orleans native, who has a knack for catching ears with his soulful, sincere lyrics, sexy, smooth vocal skills, plus a relaxing acoustic sound that will make the ladies melt. Born and raised in New Orleans, LA. Life revolves around music and art, plus I was raised by more than a hand-full of musicians. About 85 percent of the members in my family either sing or play an instrument. I started learning guitar when I was 18 and I've been singing since I can remember. Age 15 was when I knew in my heart that I wanted to become a professional recording artist and producer, but I never thought in my wildest dreams that I'd become a guitar player. It's funny how things work out. I write, produce, and mix my own music. I'm a lover and a club kid, not a fighter, and everything I write about are past experiences. All of my songs represent a story in my life. My cousin Colin once told me, "If you're gonna write, write about what you're about." And that stuck with me ever since. Though this journey that I've taken on may have have some ups and downs, the experience and knowledge is priceless. I thank GOD everday for my gift and blessing me with four of the strongest musical influences I've ever had: My Uncles: "Dicky" (Guitar), "Big Alvin" (Trumpet), my aunt "Nanny Annie" (Creative Writing) and my Cousin Colin (Voice). My message is to anyone who has a dream... Follow it! That's the only way you'll ever be happy. Stay true too yourself and you'll be self rewarded in the end! (@JoHnMiChAeL@)
