Michael Gambatesa

Story

Music to me is my blood line, it keeps me focused and fills me with contentment. Writing songs has never been so good, and my latest tracks are receiving wide interest here in the UK & America. May the force of music always be with you. Mike Gambo. I am a singer songwriter/composer. Bluetonium was originally formed as a five piece band back in 2006. We were an original bunch of musicians, playing our own stuff, consisting of Jazzfunk, soul, Latin American, and a little soft rock. And after many years playing in pubs and clubs, disaster strikes. I and one other member of the band became seriously ill, so gigging became a problem for us. After a long period of recovery, We decided to go where we left off. But sadly, this was not to be. And so we amicably decided to call it a day, and go our separate ways. This is when I came upon the idea of going solo. I wrote all of the songs for the band, so why not for myself. And the rest is history. What's my genre? Some people always ask me what style or genre do I write. My Simple answer is music is what comes from within. I am a free spirit, and I write what ever comes to mind. I am lucky to a certain degree that I have the freedom to express myself in any way my moods take me. I treat my music, like I treat my life. That is never be governed by rules. Do as you feel, write when the mood takes you, follow my instincts right, or wrong. What really matters is what comes from your heart, that is what makes you an individual.
