Artist History An award-winning drummer since early childhood, Micah used demo tapes of his jazz drumming to win admission to Colgate University, where he spent four years earning a Philosophy & Religion degree, performing with campus bands, and hosting new music shows for the school’s radio station. In his final year of college, a leg-injury sidelined Micah’s music career. He retreated to his books and, after graduating, moved to Los Angeles to attend law school at the University of Southern California. Fueled by insomnia during his first semester of school, Micah began teaching himself guitar and songwriting. By his third year, Micah had become a regular on the Hollywood open-mike scene, often performing on the evenings before exams. By graduation, he was packing local clubs with solo shows. His passion rediscovered, Micah became determined to focus his energy on making music. Returning to New York in 1997, Micah dove head first into a successful career as a film executive while performing for modest crowds around NYC. An appearance at the CMJ New Music Festival with a new supporting band led to packed shows at Arlene Grocery and CBGB’s Gallery, as well as an introduction to Atlantic Records recording artist Duncan Sheik. Impressed with Micah’s original voice and intelligent songwriting, Duncan signed on to privately record an album that would reflect his organic yet ethereal sound. Recording over six months at Duncan’s Warm Pod recording studio, Micah and Duncan each played several instruments to create a rich acoustic palette. The result is an unforgettable collection of songs and sounds that are at once strikingly fresh, atmospheric and accessible. Micah will be performing several New York area shows during October and November 2000. Micah’s current career path seemed obvious from the start.
