Artist History Mike is a one man band, thanks to the marvels of modern technology. Born in Australia, his family moved to Canada when he was 3 and, luckily, brought him along. Having been sent off for every child's worst nightmare, piano lessons at the age of 5, he began composing in earnest at the age of 11. Four years later, with the proceeds of his paper route, Mike bought his first synthesizer and the rest is history. Today at the age of 28, he works as a composer for film, tv, multimedia and videogames, in addition to pursuing a career as a recording artist.
