A native of North Carolina Mike began playing bass when He was about sixteen. "I first started out playing guitar. After my first band came and went I switched to bass cause there is always a short supply of bass players it seems." He immediately fell in love with the bass and has never looked back. Mike has always loved music since he could remember. "I love everything about the eighties. Some of my favorites are Alice Cooper, W.A.S.P. RUSH, Yes, Steve Vai, Iron Maiden, King's X, and all the retro eighties stuff like the Cars, Thomas Dolby, and Men at work. I like just about everything from rock to jazz to soul, if it's good music I like it." In and out of bands for a while Mike made a lot of good friends and has played with most of them. "Music makes the world go round without it I would truly go crazy." Now set with a solid line up, and the new album "Human Nation". Method To Madness is set to strike out and make their presence known to the world.
