About Me
Hi! I'm Michael.
Ever since I was a kid, music has been in my blood. It's not something I had to go out of my way to find. It's a part of my identity. Watch a home video of me and you may find me at 3 years old singing a classic jam, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" right in tune with my toy boom box (see photo). Little did anyone know, it would become part of the fabric that makes up who I am. I grew up in small town Shelby, Ohio, something I will always be proud of. I have many cherished memories, not the least of them being playing football in the backyard or basketball in the driveway. I enjoyed spending time with family and I always loved watching sports and going to games with my friends. And though my love for sports and competition is evident in my life, it was listening to the marching drums play at Friday night football games that really stuck. From that point on, I was a drummer, and the world became my instrument!
Early days
In 2013, I got an acoustic guitar for my birthday and decided it was time to take the leap to start playing publicly and, as you can see in the video, I began nervously leading the youth band at my home church in Shelby. I've grown a lot since, put a lot of experience under my belt, and my confidence has grown leaps and bounds. I have spent loads of time developing my craft and writing music in my free time and continue to strive to become a better musician and person. Now I am excited to see how I can use my experiences to enhance your wedding day, and I look forward to being the musician for your big day!
Who I am
I am passionate, Christ-serving, Jesus-loving, integrous, and creative, and combined with a genuine commitment to excellence in everything I do, you can be sure that your event is in good hands. I have nearly a decade of experience as a worship leader and songwriter, and have now added Wedding Musician to my résumé, but I have a lifetime of experience as a musician, a creative, and most of all, a human being. I strive to use my music to inspire and always go above and beyond, never settling for anything but the highest quality with every endeavor I set my mind to. I was always taught to be humble and put others before myself, and I desire to use my music as a platform to help others and glorify the God who taught me and made me who I am.
