Function Band Man
It's party time!!
What does a crowd at a party want? Easy: Fun and familiar songs they dance and sing to.
Michael is a guitarist based in SE London. His focus is on party and function bands; popular songs to get the audience singing and dancing. Using a guitar synth and vocoder (that live daft punk sound) as well as a wealth of guitar sounds he essentially doubles up as an extra keyboard player (sometimes mid song!) and give a band a style many other bands can't reproduce.
A talented experienced band member playing in various bands with the ability to help with band song arrangement and figure the music for keys, bass, vocal parts and drums.
He has the ability to quickly learn songs, usually through the 1st run through! and program the sounds for a close representation of the song. He will also come up with ideas to give an original twist or mashup if needed.
He is also a member of a work choir borne from Gareth Malone's choir at work programme which has gone on to successful competitions and performs at various charitable events.
He is also classically trained with grade 8 flute.
Listen to demo tracks created ready for a band demo video.
Michael produced the entire tracks including playing all the backing, programming drums and providing backing vocals.
He also worked on the post audio vocal pitch correction.
