A seasoned songwriter, Mike has been writing songs for quite a while now. His catalog of songs consists of Alternative and Classic rock, as well as Christian music. A nutritionist by day for a nutraceutical company in New York City. Nine of Mike's songs have made the semifinals in the "UK Song Contest" of 2012, 2013, 2015, & 2016. Mike also won back to back monthly song contests ($100 prize) in 2014 @ fanmusic.com, a site for songwriters, and collected another $100 in November 2015, for his song "Waiting On Love". Mike's latest release is his solo project, "New Thoughts" a collection of retro 60's/70's as well as more modern songs. His current projects include Predestined (a classic/modern rock project) and Creation Mind (retro 60's/70's). His Predestined project won "Best Rock Band" in 2008 on X-Site Radio, from an early demo, based solely on streams from X-Site Radio listeners. In 2012 Predestined were invited to participate in "The Battle Of The Boroughs" a prestigious band competition that was held at The Greene Space in NYC in 2012, and streamed live over the internet. In 2014 Pandora Radio accepted Mike's Creation Mind project, the CD “The Crimson Sun”. In 2015 Pandora Radio again approved another CD, this one from Mike's Predestined project, the "Victoria EP" - six songs that were re-mixed and re-mastered from the "Dreamwave" album ( released in early 2015). Mike's projects are mainly recording at this time ... but "more than willing to tour if we get 'lucky' with a record deal and hit single."
