About mjbugman

 
Portrait of mjbugman
Mike Jones
I am a 37-year-old husband and father of 6 living in Florida. I currently perform and record all music myself at home, because like most musicians I don't have the money for studios or studio musicians. I do have some older songs I recorded with studio musicians in the early 90’s; they worked for beer and cigarettes. I have been writing since the age of 14 and was front man for several bands in my late teens and early 20's.
I suffered permanent vocal cord injuries in 2000, which seriously limits my singing ability, as you can tell if you listen to some of my newer songs, so I am now focusing on my songwriting. I am currently seeking a publishing deal and new artist to write for. So please don't judge my performance but the songs themselves.
Thanks to my wife Brandy and my children for loving and putting up with me, my mom for always encouraging and believing in me, my dad for my musical roots, my grandmother (rest her soul) for always telling me how great I was even when I wasn't, my friend and co-writer Richard Mack Thomas, who keeps me keepin' on, and God, who has blessed me way beyond what I deserve!

Thanks and God bless,

Mike Jones
(MJ)

    Hey MJ, Great songs, and as far as I can hear, there is no problem with your vocal presentation at all, I think you sound wonderful!!! Originally, I just wanted to write songs, not intending to sing myself, but my sound engineer encouraged me to go ahead and do it myself, every one has there own voice. Peace to you my friend. Cathie
