Early Life
Michael's actual given name was James Michel, but he changed the spelling of his surname to Michael so people would not mispronounce it. He took piano lessons while growing up and sang in Holland High School's show choir, Vocal Dimensions. As a teen he played in different local rock bands including The Way We Dress and Night Shift. In the late 80's, he moved to LA.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“But she is early up and out,
To trim the year or strip its bones;”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
“At this very moment,... the most frightful horrors are taking place in every corner of the world. People are being crushed, slashed, disembowelled, mangled; their dead bodies rot and their eyes decay with the rest. Screams of pain and fear go pulsing through the air at the rate of eleven hundred feet per second. After travelling for three seconds they are perfectly inaudible. These are distressing facts; but do we enjoy life any the less because of them? Most certainly we do not.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
