Born and raised a riverbank away from the birthplace of Motown, prolific Canadian singer-songwriter Soul Brother Mike has a lifetime of immersion in classic soul and R&B music.

The proof of Mike's songwriting ability is in his accolades - charting on the Top 100 in Canadian Rock Radio, reaching #1 in the MuchMore Music Top Countdown (The Walkervilles' "Please Baby Stay" and Michou's "Growing Younger"), and winning XM Radio The Verge's Artist of the Year in 2011 with Michou - earned while rigorously touring, writing, and recording.
