Michael McCartney

Michael McCartney is one of our music industry’s invisible phantoms - behind the scenes, from project to project. He's contributed to a myriad of other artists creations, now he's sharing his. 

Inspired by artists and producers alike, McCartney draws from a genre-spanning pool of creators like Mark Ronson, Kasey Musgraves, Bad Bad Not Good, David Byrne, Harry Styles, Gotye and Gillian Welch.

Spending time honing his ‘Vintage Pop’ sound over the past 3 years, ‘Too Long’ is the first single of his Debut EP, in a series of four EP’s due for release over the coming 12 months.

With collaboration in his blood, the Four Ep Series features long term musical partner Ian Peres (Matt Corby, Ruel, Jarryd James). They’ve shared the stage for artists like Wolfmother and Ash Grunwald and more recently, they’ve shared the studio with many artists including San Mei (McCartney is their studio drummer). For much of the creative mix-duties, McCartney turned to in-demand producer and mixer engineer Konstantin Kersting (Mallrat, Tones & I) sighting Kersting’s unique and exploratory sonic touch.
