My Pet Dragon is a Brooklyn, NY based act creating a buzz because of
their unique sound and live show. The sound of My Pet Dragon comes
from singer/guitarist Todd Michaelsen, whose songwriting style blends
epic rock sounds with various other influences including pop, eastern, and electronica. My Pet Dragon's intense live show consists of Michaelsen's music combined
with the mesmerizing classical Indian dancing of his wife, Reena Shah.
They have officially release one record called 'First Born' in 2006 which highlights both organic and electronic production, and multi-layered instrumentation.
Recently signed to producer Stephen George's "Gimme That Sound" Label, My Pet Dragon will be releasing an EP and LP starting in the Summer of 2009.

"(My Pet Dragon's) live performance is nothing short of transcendent. "
"Todd Michaelsen (a.k.a. My Pet Dragon), hailing from Brooklyn, NY, is a symbol of what threatens the future of the music industry. He embodies the spirit of all talented unsigned artists that push the creative envelope and grow independently. The independent movement is a growing shadow in the background of commercial music."
"Their song-and-dance combination are forceful and stunning."
-LA Taco, Los Angeles

"melodic but haunting; ambient but also intense. Michaelsen not only gets away with the paradoxes, but forges new territory in blending disparate sounds and influences together into a novel experience." *****(5 out of 5 stars)
