Throughout his life, Michael has been an accomplished musician. Since the early age of 5 when Michael began his musical journey, he has achieved much success collaborating with world-class musicians and bands recording multiple CDs and traveling the world performing live. Michael has worked very hard over many years to develop a solid reputation as a serious and qualified musician.

In 1990, Michael formed the rock band Jaded with vocalist/actress Tina Yothers. Jaded performed nationwide and made several appearances on programs like Entertainment Tonight, Extra, Fox, VH-1, Mark and Brian, Mancow in Chicago, and the famous Howard Stern Show. Shortly after Jaded, Michael teamed up with singer/songwriter Adam Kowalczyk and formed Adam and the Weight. Adam was the touring guitar player in the very famous rock band LiVE and brother of vocalist Ed Kowalczyk. Adam and the Weight toured with several artists throughout the country and headlined their very own European Tour.

After 30+ years, Michael decided it was time to teach the gift of music to eager musicians wanting to learn an instrument. In 2007 Michael created the growing Rockstars of Tomorrow franchise where today, thousands of students a week are enrolled in a music program that literally teaches them to ROCK!
