Born and raised in Miami-Dade County, FL, Michael has always had a passion for music from as early as he could remember. An 80's baby inspired by all kinds of 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, and new millennium music from the musical genius of artists like Sam Cooke, the Soul Stirrers, James Brown, Commissioned, Aretha Franklin, Mahalia Jackson, Fleetwood Mac, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Prince, Whitney Houston, and Guy to name a few, Michael realized his knack for not only singing songs, but writing at a very young age. He started playing trombone from middle school through high school where he played in the marching, symphonic and jazz bands of Miami Jackson Senior High in Miami, FL, and learned a great deal about music composition.
Michael went to the University of Florida where he studied and earned a Bachelor's in Computer Information Sciences, but kept his music roots alive, taking music appreciation and performing for a semester with the university's marching and pep bands. After graduating and returning home from school, he became a born-again Christian and a member of New Birth Baptist Church Cathedral of Faith International, in Miami, FL. Michael began singing for the New Birth Men of Valor Male Choir, where he was often asked to lead songs, and he also sung with the New Birth Cathedral Choir, United Voices Choir and Praise Team. In 2011, acknowledging his gifts of music and encouragement, Michael became inspired to pursue a full-time career as a Gospel artist and is gifted as a songwriter, producer and arranger, writing and producing for his own music and others.
Michael's music infuses a bit of everything from Urban Contemporary Gospel to R&B, Jazz, Hip Hop, Soft/Hard Rock, and Pop.
Michael is married to Ciello Herring and is a father of 2 children, Azaniah Herring and Zuriel Herring. Michael and his family currently live in Miami, Florida.
With rhythms from the heart and to motivate with the inspiration of Christ, we invite you to take a journey into Michael's music, listen, get up on your feet, sing, dance, and praise God!
