Michael’s professional music career began as a songwriter and guitarist in Nashville, TN. After years of moderate success, he left to pursue other interests. A personal and artistic re-birth eventually led him back to music.
Michael's debut solo CD, "Sacred Nation," received the 2003 Native American Music Award for Best Independent Recording. His follow-up, "They Come Dancing," was nominated in 2004. "The Journey," Michael's third CD, received a 2006 Indian Summer Music Award, a 2006 Just Plain Folks Award nomination, and two 2007 Native American Music Award nominations.
The aptly named masterpiece, Mystery, is Michael's latest work and it is as diverse thematically as it is musically. Covering topics from the environment and politics to the ecstasy and agony of life and relationships, Mystery will rock you with its power and move you to tears with its tenderness and poignancy.
Michael's a member of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences and the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers. An accomplished musician, writing great songs remains his sole desire and fuels his ambition.

I love listening to your music. It speaks truth into my life and lifts my spirits up. It also encourages me to make a difference with the journey of life I've been given by God.
Thanks for adding me :) I remember the first time I seen you preform, it was at Patowatami Trails Pow Wow my first year on the committee. I was drawn to your singing and picked up my first CD of yours "They Come Dancing" that day. My favorite song still is "Until We Meet Again" but it is running in close with "Sky Woman". I look forward to seeing you every year at our Pow Wow as well as Indian Summer and various other Pow Wows in the area.
Michael, Wado oginali for the add. Love the music, has kept me entertained may a long mile back and forth between Wichita and Colorado Springs, now I've brought it with me to Fort Worth. I really wish you would come out further West with your show, it would be great to meet you and see the live MJ. Wado dondagovi
Wow, it looks like you've got a busy fall coming up. I was down at the Red Bird Mission in Kentucky last month,not far from where you're heading. Berea is a cool school. Be blessed.
