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.
