When I was 5 years old I was banging on an old piano in my longtime family friends' basement. After a few consecutive minutes of senseless, irritating banging, my good friend David Furcayg said "Mike, you can't play with his unless you know how to play it. "As an intrigued 5 year old child I said to myself, "well I want to learn how to play this instrument then." The Furcayg family was kind enough to ship the old piano to my house-- one month later I was taking lessons. The rest is history. At 11 years old I picked up guitar and singing. By 12 years old I had joined my first band. It was a Green Day cover band, essentially. Embarrassing right? Over the years, I have developed a passion for many different types of music and instruments. In and out of different bands and projects, I have finally stabilized myself as a folk/indie singing songwriting college student from central Jersey. It is my genuine hope that my music has the ability to touch or inspire different people. If even one person hears my music and experiences a positive impact-- it makes everything I do worthwhile. It’s not about money and it’s not about fame. It’s about music, positive messages, and making an impact on this beautiful world we live in.
