Chapter One

The making of
an artist

Where it started — a kid, a microphone, a room full of people

Chicago → Florida
Born on Chicago's South Side and raised in Florida as one of 11 children, Michael discovered early that he had two places he felt completely at home — on the field and on the stage.
Fourth grade
He picked up a guitar in fourth grade and soon began performing in school talent shows, writing songs and chasing the idea that music could become something bigger.
St. John Neumann High School
At St. John Neumann High School, football nearly became that future instead. As a standout quarterback, Michael had his sights set on playing at the college level.
The turn
Then the pandemic changed the playbook. Music moved from the background to the center of his life.
COFOUND THE BACK COUNTRY BOYS
Michael went on to co-find the Back Country Boys and is currently the lead singer of them.
Solo
Now stepping forward as a solo artist, he's bringing those experiences into a sound of his own — modern country storytelling infused with pop melody, energy and heart.

This is the beginning of the next chapter.
