Industry Reviews:


Robert K. Oermann - Music Row Magazine Review: Planet California

"I like the unusual sound effects in the production. The lyric's kinda left-field, too. Rocking..."

Pete Smith – D.J. & Music reviewer - “Advertiser” (UK) on August 17, 2007 Album Reviews: Mike Lounibos – Planet California

“I have been acquainted with the work of Mike Lounibos for a couple of years or so and have always been impressed but not as impressed as I am with his latest album, the superb “Planet California” (Southern Angel Music). Mike has a great country voice, easily the equal of many who are touted as superstars these days, and he is one of the most innovative writers one could wish to meet..."

"I closed my eyes listening to Planet California and I could smell the true essence of American country music. Mike Lounibos music has a combination of meaty, heart felt lyrics, melodies for the memory and a great warmth that would touch any country music lovers soul.The question for you isn*t "should it be in my music collection?", but "why isn*t it in there already?"

Darryl Lanyon -101FM Logan City Australia

Important: If you want to read my BIO, please click on my Electronic Press Kit (EPK) in the left column. It's Industry standard, informative, polished and as usual written in 3rd person.

But here we keep things down to earth: Friendly, Personal and Country!




Hi Everybody! Thanks for coming by. If it’s your first time then a big WELCOME. If you’re one of my incredible Myspace friends and family coming back for another dose of COUNTRY –all I can say is You’re amazing and thanks for spreading the word about Mike Lounibos and Planet California.

2008 has seen me get re-dedicated to my passion of songwriting and I couldn't be any happier. My newest song, "Who's To Say" is one of my rare solo writes but is becoming one of my personal favorites. It's message consumed me from the second God threw me the idea. You could say I've never been this inspired to be the messenger. I humbly accept the job.

I've also been working hard putting together a new recording studio and it's slowly getting there. Building a creative atmosphere to sing and write in can get expensive but it's all worth it as long as good songs keep coming out.

Oh, before I forget, The European CMA did honor me with the award: Independent CD Of The Year - Planet California. One out of three ain't too bad.

What an incredible year 2007 was and here are some of the highlights:

11/24/2007 - I just recently got back from Southern California and Nashville. The Southbay Music Awards were a lot of fun. I didn't take home the Big Prizes but it was an honor to have been nominated and recognized at the event For Top Independent CD and Best Country Artist/Group Of The Year awards. Thanks for all your votes! We made it very close! You are awesome friends, fans and family...In Nashville I demoed 2 new songs, performed for the staff at Country Weekly Magazine - a great bunch of people! There's more good news coming...

I’ve got to tell you, being able to live this music dream is unbelievable. Of course, there’s the ups and down but what a ride. It’s all I’ve ever wanted to do and I thank God everyday for being blessed with this chance. The chance to write and sing and make a living at it. I hope we can do this thing together for a long time to come.

My Myspace family is growing fast and so is the Industry demand for my time. So to stay in touch with everybody here’s what’s got to be done:
