Michael Pagan

Michael’s gimmick is to play and sing extremely well, while performing for the crowd in an energizing, impactful manner. The sound is high-end, as is the material chosen. Michael’s performance is top shelf musically, sonically, and visually.

When he was in junior and high school, Michael's bands were usually playing at the school dances.

Michael first opened for a national show (Kiss) when he was 18 years old.

Michael's former band members include current or former members of bands including Bob Seger, Ted Nugent, Romantics, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Michael's Detroit-based band, Tilt, dominated the Detroit and surrounding area club scene for years, always packing the top clubs. Michael's musically sophisticated, yet visually riveting guitar solo's were always in prime time demand.

When he was 21, Michael's band was signed to a recording contract by Russ Regan (artists such as Elton John, Neil Diamond, Barry White, and Olivia Newton-John, and icons such as Motown and Flash Dance all credit Regan "ears" as a major force behind their success). Russ Regan signed Michael's band to a recording contract at a Detroit club after a show.

A nationally released album followed on Casablanca Records and Filmworks (whose alumni include Kiss, Donna Summer, Village People, and others).

Michael's Atlanta session work has been heard on national radio and TV.
