Artist History Michael Emmanuel was born and raised in Two Rivers, WI. As a teen he played in a band which covered the rock tunes of the day. After spending some time at the University of Wisconsin- Steven's Point he decided to look west (or rather southwest) to Arizona. While in Arizona he met the renowned piano teacher and coach John Suter and began a serious study of classical piano. He also began to develop his voice in the operatic style and studied with Rico Serbo and famed Bass/Baritone Giorgio Tozzi. During this time he was a highly sought classical pianist, arranger, and vocalist and appeared as soloist with several symphonies. He was also a member of the Arizona Opera. In 1996 he began developing material for a compilation of the received spiritual writings of John Suter. In addition to his musical talents, John was also a much loved and sought after channel in Chicago and Arizona. Over a period of some 40 years he amassed a collection of messages of love, beauty and understanding. In its original form the work was entitled the Biblical Meditations .

Press Reviews "Ethereal ambient, clean sound. I've heard BUTTERFLY and this voice sounds like the old school dictates, a little bit a la J. Denver but with more body. Excellent harmony. In two words: How to write a superb tune with a few elements but [in] their right place[s]" --Toni G. Spanish Recording Artist "authentic, emotional... [Michael Emmanuel] sings well, in tune and with authority." Open Bar
