Hi there!
My name is Michael Anderson. I go by Mikey. I live in Galesburg, IL and I am a vocalist. I have been singing all my life.
I started singing when I was 8 years old. My parents heard me singing "Seasons in the sun" and urged me to take choir in school, so I did. I have worked hard trying to better my vocals and work on my piano playing. Years pass and I make it into All State Choir which is 1 in 100 in the state of Illinois. The year after that, I made it to Honor's Choir which is 1 in 50 in the state of Illinois! Even with all this great stuff happening to me, my family still treated my singing as a waste of time. The told me repeatedly that I would get nowhere with my dream. When I made it to senior year, I was still considered a junior because I was a half credit short. I still managed to graduate on time. After graduating high school, my Dad tells me that I wasted my entire school life on Music. So I, wanting to make him proud, stupidly gave it up for a while. Thanks to my wife telling me that my voice was incredible, I tried again and started doing song covers on YouTube. But, I lacked confidence so I never got anywhere with my music.
recently, I have been singing karaoke at a local bar in town and I went to try out for the Voice. No luck there either because I still lacked confidence. Now, thanks to my wife's younger brother digging the confidence out of me, I was able to get my first single "In the Mirror" complete and on Youtube and Soundcloud. I have my own music studio in my trailer. It's nothing big, but it gets the job done!
I also love anime! My favorite animes consist of
Ronin Warriors, Bleach, FMA, One Piece, SAO just to name a few.
I'm hoping to make some new friends and learn some things about music I didn't know about music.
