I started my professional career at 16, playing at Long Island popular venues and covering all of my favorite artists.

Soon after, I was signed to Jericho Sound Studios, where I recorded my originals. This led to my studio career recording for various artists and producers.

THE 80s
I worked for jingle houses as a writer and singer and was part of a team that won a Best on Long Island award for a jingle I sang. I also played with many local popular cover bands, doing club dates and weddings, all the while performing my orginal songs in a band of my own.

THE 90's
I had the opportunity to meet some great players at a Open Mic Night I was hosting . Like birds of a feather we flocked together forming my original band " For Now " we played from montauk to manhattan being well received with great reviews ,it was a wonderful time.

Unfortunately, my father's health was starting to fail, and I needed to be by his side. I would have had it no other way. So I put playing out on hold. Running my own business, Michael's Pride Installations, gave me the flexibility to work and care for him.

But not playing out did not mean not playing. As a matter of fact, I never played more.

I built my own studio, honing my engineering and producing skills. Writing and singing with my father by my side I went to the shed -- a term used by old time musicians when they would literally go to a woodshed to practice and grow as a player. My father loved good music!

THE PRESENT
Now I'm raising a family -- my daughter Rachel and sons Michael and Gabriel. Thank GOD. What a joy.

Oh, yeah, I'm ready to perform again!
