Artist History At first, it started out as a songwriting project when leader/founder and drummer/keyboardist/producer, Michael Anthony Woods, started writing some newly copyrighted songs (for his own pleasure at first). Then it became more serious as he kept on writing more new songs. That's when he got into producing the music that was soon to become the very first debut album, "VIBRATION FLOW, VOL. 1". Mike was very courteous enough to invite some of his friendly musicians to come down to the studio and play their instruments as part of this new debut album, "Vibration Flow, Vol. 1".
