Michael is a self-taught musician, from age 13, starting with guitar then moving into drums, bass, banjo, and mandolin in that order. He aspires to one day master the glockenspiel, simply because he likes to say the word “glockenspiel.” He also dabbles in the accordion but doesn’t discuss it much due to the almost universal glares of disgust. He has played with many bands over the years and is a founding father of the renowned and slightly infamous Death Chicken. He is one of the last, few surviving John Denver superfans, and can rattle off pointless musical facts that only a member of the ADHD class of humans can appreciate.
Paul's musical journey began when he was about 5 years old when he fell in love with his families upright piano. He always knew music was going to be a part of his life. He received his first guitar at the age of 14. By the age of 16, he began playing the trumpet. In less than a year, he earned first chair in the high school band. With his trumpet in hand, Paul became a founding member of the ska band "Washington Riot." All the while he was a founder and member of the punk band "UpDrake", he did not play any instruments, nor was he the lead singer. He was the first punk band hype-man. His role was integral to the creation of music and background vocals as well as giving a strong stage presence. These were the days where he was known as "Paul, just Paul." He later moved on to playing the drums, discovering his love for the band Rush. Before long, he discovered he had a voice that would be described as angelical, by most who hear it. Now, with the help of the Royal Renegades, he will share his love of music and his voice with the world.
