About Me |
|
| Born on an Air Force base in Germany and run amok as a military brat until landing in Los Angeles in the early 80s, Singer / Songwriter Brett Mikels and his family spent little more than a year in each town until he was in his teens. Grateful for the opportunity to see many different places, meet people from hugely different walks of life, he was reared in diversity.Brett spent many years in Los Angeles as a lead guitarist/background vocalist in many successful projects providing him years of stage experience, tour experience, and an international pop genre release.He began his solo career after recognizing that his musical experience was somehow incomplete. He realized he had something positive to say and that people needed to hear it. Hes gone on to perform his thoughtful and evocative original tunes across the country to extremely receptive audiences. Hes also worked with many hit writers and is forging a name for himself in the industry, which at times has proven difficult considering the other Bret Michaels deserved success.As a songwriter, he reflects on much of what he has absorbed from those he has come into contact with, and is hoping to share some of the things passed down to him and through him. It seems you can never learn enough, see enough, or experience enough in one lifetime. Perhaps the most important thing is just to pay attention along the way.Often described as introspective and revealing, Bretts music echoes early influences like James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, The Eagles, and John Denver, as well as contemporary influences such as John Mayer, Sarah McLachlan, Peter Gabriel, and Seal. Woven subtly throughout is his love of Soul, R&B, and Rock-N-Roll, and results in a sophisticated and beautiful blend of many genres. Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor |
