I was born in Chicago in the summer of 84' and lived there through the summer of 02' with my family from Romania. My family is my true life source and inspiration in all I do and they provided me with a childhood of laughter and love. They came to the states in the late 70's for a change. I decided to move to Texas when I was 17. On my own, in a green minivan named Gary, this started my life in the south. I met my good friend and musical companion Keegan McInroe shortly upon my arrival. I started my musical life with this gentleman and before we knew it we had a band come together. Time went by the band grew and we found ourselves growing individually as well. Life on the road, the music was what we lived for and our time out there could'nt be matched by anything. Years have passed and these times we're livin in would'nt be anything without the people and places met on the road. Needless to say we all learned a lot and took what we could get out of it. Now, 24, living in Fort Worth, Tx lifes good. By the grace of God, and beautiful people, i'm lucky to be apart of something thats growing strong in this city. True music. You'll find it in specific parts of this city just like any other, but, different. Differents good, real good when everythings the same out there. So i'm gonna sing about it. And God willing my life here, my life back home, the people here, there people there might change, even just a bit. After all change is different and different is good. If you haven't been apart of whats been happenning I hope to bring it to you somehow, wherever you are. God Bless. -Michael

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
