Grammy®, Dove and Stellar Award nominated producer Michael Coston hails from Queens, NY. Influenced by musical parents he found drumming to be his primary instrument at the age of three. Simultaneously maintaining his extraordinary talent for art as well as music he expanded quickly with both art forms learning to play a multitude of instruments.
A product of the gifted LaGuardia High School of Music & Art in upper Manhattan he indulged heavily in the arts and developed his passion for jazz music to the likes of Miles Davis and John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Wayne Shorter, Return To Forever and The Mahavishnu Orchestra. Despite being an art student he would take every opportunity available to sit-in with the jazz band and grow to idolize the styles of master drummers Elvin Jones, Billy Cobham, Tony Williams, Lenny White, Omar Hakim, Kenny Washington and Narada Michael Walden amongst others.
He then elected to pursue his artistic roots into the field of Architecture where he studied at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. Yet his love for one art form did not diminish the other. During his college years he established various bands which performed Top 40 gigs at clubs throughout New York and Long Island. Following college as an architect he established a recording studio in his Brooklyn brownstone apartment where he produced artist demos and further refined his composing and engineering skills.
With that initial success he relocated his studio to Rockefeller Center in midtown Manhattan where he further expanded his production and publishing business and caliber of talent. After a streak of Jazz, Pop and R&B projects with aspiring popular artists he then turned to building his catalog of songs which among others included co-producing two Grammy, Dove and Stellar award nominated albums for the phenomenal vocalist Yolanda Adams.
Working from his personally owned recording studio, he is now heavily involved with composing a wide spectrum of music for filmscore, video entertainment software and commercial projects as well as his own personal compilation of unique Jazz and R&B discographies.

Muito grato! Maravilha de som. A música faz com que as pessoas experimentem um pouquinho do mundo divino.

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
