I’m Michael "Mojo" O’Brien. I was born in St. Louis, Missouri not far from the mighty Mississippi River. As the son of a career military officer I had the opportunity to live all over the world, including Europe and the Middle East. When not overseas, our family lived in beautiful Southern Ohio. Now I’m a Chicago kinda guy - "Da Bears!".
DECEMBER 2007: Mojo musician/producer Jimmy Jenkins is scoring the soundtrack for an HBO pilot. In January 2008 he’ll begin work on the new Mojo album.

We would jam in Joe's garage. The neighbors were yelling TURN IT DOWN. A couple of quarts of beer would help it so the intonation would not affect our ear.
