Mike is a fresh new talent that has broken into the singer/songwriter scene. Growing up in Southern California, music has always been a huge part of his life. With influences ranging from guitar greats BB King, Hendrix, and Marley, to soul legends Otis Redding and Al Greene, to rap icons Tribe Called Quest. His eclectic love for music has shaped his style, and brings a whole new sound to folk music. At a recent show, a first time listener stated, “this isn’t your typical folk; this is soul-folk, and honestly love it.” Mike began singing at an early age of six, at the age of eight he took up the piano, at the age of ten he began playing the saxophone, but it wasn’t until only recently when he picked up a guitar, he realized where his true passion was. Now with a solid fan base, a striking acoustic sound, and a soulful unforgettable voice, Mike Isberto is making heads turn, from peers and industry members alike. Mike has also recently joined forces with Hawaii-based label Red Tide Artists, and as a team the future looks promising.
