Born and raised in the "Mill City" of Lowell,
Massachusetts, Mike is known as someone who has a story to tell and
sings his songs like he owns the story. Mike’s music resembles prominent
artists such as “John Mayer”, “The Goo Goo Dolls” and “Toad the Wet
Sprocket.” At the young age of 18, his songwriting abilities are far
beyond his years. His lyrics envelop issues that all ages can relate to.
Within his songs he speaks of topics such as the fear of growing older
and the hurt of young love. Mike says, “I’m
naturally a person with a great deal of anxiety….My music has always
been the confession of my fears.
In early 09, Mike joined efforts with producer Dennis Carroll of 6Media
AV. In the beginning, their hopes were merely to establish a raw sound
in a five song EP. Over the first half of 2009 the album began to
flourish. After incorporating drummer Max Zemanovic and bassist Steve
Belleville into the project, the tracks began to take shape. In April of
2009, Mike decided “Summer in Bed” was to be added to the album.
Through the entire processes one thing remained constant; it just took
time. Rightfully so, that phrase spurred the title of this 6-song EP.
“Just Takes Time” was released on July 17th, 2009 at the Mount
Pleasant Country Club in Lowell, MA. His
music is available on iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody and Napster.com
Mike’s future seems bright in 2010 and beyond. Check out "Whats Good"
