Michael Rockstar is a musical
comedian. Hailing originally from Los Angeles, and more recently
from Portland Oregon , Michael's music is as diverse and
interesting as the places he has resided. "I spent time in Asia,
teaching English in rural China and hanging out in Thailand - I played
shows twice a week for people who had no idea what I was saying. It
forced me to become a much more involving entertainer," says Michael.
Growing up in a musical family, Michael is no stranger to the
industry. His father Marc Wolin was in the successful Los
Angeles-based band Wheeze in the early 70s and continues to perform
and produce various acts through his company, Sedona Records, of which
Michael is a part. Experienced and prolific, Michael has written and
performed music since the age of 11, and, after graduating from the
University of Arizona with a degree in Music, Sound Recording, and
Media Arts, Michael has embarked upon an artistic journey unlike his
previous endeavours, or those of his musical comrades. "I'm working on
a masterpiece," he says. A delightful combination of rock, folk, pop,
comedy, and dialogue, Michael's charismatic appeal is most evident at
his live performances. Audience involvement plays a key role,
enhancing the overall experience, but his studio recordings are sure
to be just as entertaining.
Drawing on influences like Pavement, Ween, Spice Girls... whatever.
have fun with it.
