Bio
.................... .. .................... .................... .. .. .......... .. .. .. .. .. ...... .... .. .. .......... .......... .. .. .. .. One of the strongest Inspirational Soul albums of this year surfaces via a new artist breaking out of Austin, Texas. A well-produced, superbly sung debut, is lyrically profound and showcases a pleasing neo-soul style. Michaux is not afraid to wear his soulful influences on his sleeve. For example, Maxwell immediately springs to mind – although there's a hint of Marvin, a sprinkling of Curtis, a touch of Leroy Hutson. The material, mainly self-penned, showcases mellow two-steppers like "All I need", the rare-groove funk of "Resti2shun" (where Cymande meets Mayfield head-on), a potential slow-jam radio winner in "He paid it all" and the undisputed highlight for me, the soulful, sensual "What you wouldn't do for love". Recommended!.. .. ..Steve Jackson - Shades of Soul Magazine - CAMBRIDGE, UNITED KINGDOM.. .. .... ..All round strong album that gives props to the old skool, but also has a current edge. The songs are also strong given Michaux's commendable views on life. There's a trio of tracks in the middle that I like a lot, mellow but sweet, superbly controlled vocals, a sweet ballad 'Toni', and the haunting Curtis-esque 'What you wouldn't do for love'. The pace quickens with the funky, live feel of 'Love You the Right Way'. 'Resti2tion' is even funkier with distant horns and some Prince or George Clinton like qualities. 'Resti 2 tion' and 'What you Wouldn't do for Love' are the standouts for me... .. ..Michael C Ashley - Life and Soul Promotions - UNITED KINGDOM .. .. .. An outstanding release! Real music from a real artist - What more could anyone ask for? I cannot wait to tell my audience the tour dates for Europe!.. .. ..Torsten Williamson - Fuchs&13;JAM FM, Berlin, Germany's 1 R&B and Hip Hop Station!.... .. .. White soul doesn't come by everyday and when it does it tends to disappoint. However, this is not the case with the latest project from Texas based Michaux…….laid back yet infectious urban grooves with compelling vocal inflections that &13;immediately evoke the sound of Ronald Isley....... .. ..Smoothvibes.com, (Switzerland).. Denis Poole's Secret Garden - UNITED KINGDOM.... .. .. Michaux sings a message over music that washes over you like Maxwell's most sensual balladry. The White Texan has an affinity for soulful grooves... .. ..A. Scott Galloway, Music Editor.. The Urban Network (Los Angeles).. Liner notes writer: The Reel Quincy Jones, Curtis Mayfield's Superfly and Donny Hathaway's Extension of a Man.... .. .. Michaux rides on a warm magic carpet with the likes of Maxwell and Remy Shand and he does so quite convincingly. His Blue Eyed Soul is in an elevated category. He writes excellent songs without weak points, and is a singer who has quite the 'black artist' potential.&13;&13;.. .... Joerg Michael Schmitt - Soulsite.de, Sonic Soul&13;Isernhagen (Germany).... .. .. Very much reminiscent of the Fugees and even in places Alexander O'Neal, Michaux is all about serious smooth soul, in particular close vocal harmony with jazz overtones. There's no doubting that this is a first class package - check out the production on "All I Need" and "What You Wouldn't Do For Love"... .... Cross Rhythms Magazine UNITED KINGDOM.... .. .. You don't find a truly original sound every day. Smooth and funk-E in a laid back, "let the music breathe" way. Those are the first words that come to mind after listening to MichauX's album, Just Michaux. Michaux (pronounced "Mishow") is a Texas-based songwriter/musician/producer who has been honing his studio chops since the age of twelve. With a near-falsetto, silky vocal delivery and a mix of R&B, soul, funk, psychedelic, and pop orchestration. While Michaux handles most of the vocals and a lot of the instruments himself; he has also collected some great players to support him; especially funky bass guitarist Nick Lewis on tracks, which include: "All I Need," "Love You the Right Way," and "Resti 2 tion".&13;One of the best things I can say about Michaux is that, although his music sounds familiar (due to being soul-oriented), he really sounds like no one else. I want so badly to draw comparisons: "he sounds like Prince" or "he is a lot like Terence Trent Darby." But that wouldn't be accurate. The closest I can come is Charles and Eddie, the soul- pop duo from the '90s that scored the hit, "Would I Lie To You." The comparison is only from a vocal perspective, however -- Michaux has much more going on!.. .. ..Eriq Wegfahrt - Infuze Magazine - (Costa Mesa, CA).... .. .. Michaux picks up where Jon B. and Remy Shand left off. It's a new level of Soul from the South. I'm glad to see an artist be an artist for one, and show the world that Texas has Soul. Deep in the heart of Texas for real!.. .. ..Deuce Deuce, KDHT Hot 93.3/99.7 - Blazin' Hip Hop & RnB&13;(Austin, Texas).... .. .. Michaux combines the essential elements of ‘Classic Soul' and gives it a modern appeal for the current R&B market.&13;&13;I really believe that radio should definitely take notice of this up and comer!.. .. ..Preston Lowe - Music Director, X102.3 / B106.3&13;(West Palm Beach Florida).... .. .. Marvin Gaye and classic funk elements throughout, this paradox reaches its peak on the album's best cut, "Resti 2 tion," an offbeat mixture of James Brown funk and 60s psychedelic rock that works quite well, particularly with his anti-greed, anti-crime lyrical message... .. ..Chris Rizik - Soul Tracks Magazine - (Ann Arbor, Michigan).... .. .. We were looking for something new and edgy for 'Showtime at the Apollo'. MichauX's voice and music is unique and different than anything we have heard before and we believe that the audience will really relate to his music and the message... .. ..Malika Smith - Consultant to 'Showtime at the Apollo' (NYC).... .. .. ...... .. .... .. .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .. .. .."An outstanding record release from AUSTIN, TEXAS! Real music from a real artist - What more could anyone ask for? I cannot wait to tell my audience the tour dates for Europe!".. .. ..Torsten Williamson - Fuchs JAM FM, Berlin, Germany's 1 R&B and Hip Station.... .. .. .. .. .................... ................ ..3c836b4d945c12bfd5d2622b85feb933.. -
