Michael Stollaire

Artist/Band Profile: Michael Stollaire: Michael has been singing lead vocals, and playing lead guitar/keyboards in rock bands since the tender age of twelve, playing music ranging from 1950s rock and roll to full-bore thrash metal, and everything in-between. He picked up playing the guitar when he was fourteen and has been amazing audiences with his talents ever since. He began writing and recording in the mid-1990s, and has been a non-stop blur until the current day! His songs and style are inspired by artists like Nickelback, Good Charlotte, Green Day, Maroon 5, Asia, Boston, Def Leppard, Dream Theatre, Edenbridge, ELP, Evanescence, Judas Priest, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, Nightwish, Rush, Yes, ZZ Top, Metallica, Guns ‘N’ Roses, and Van Halen.

Michael was fatally infected with FM radio that was playing constantly throughout his childhood, in the house and in the car, along with a scattering of Beach Boys 45s that he inherited from his Mother. He began playing guitar and writing songs around 14 years of age. Magazines, posters, CDs, cassettes and records were constantly scattered throughout his room, and a dream is born. Picture him sitting alone in a room playing and singing into a cassette recorder. Then, he was involved in a seemingly endless string of bands, where he cut his teeth and his unique style was germinated. Then, he moved to California in the mid-90s, following his heart and career. Over the next 15 years or so, he played and recorded with a chain of club rock bands, as well as many solo performances and recordings. Currently writing a book of poetry, based on existentialism and romantic meanderings, with a working title of “Better Late than Never.”

Reviews: http://cdbaby.com/cd/mstollaire

"You can believe me or not, but you can smoothly dance by "Just Like Yesterday", even though it is hard rock music with no doubts. I am convinced that it can be a hit accepted by almost every radio station playing hard rock tunes."

"In my opinion, "Holy Avenger" is a kind of hit-by-hit stuff from whom such tracks like "Little Princess", "Watch Her Walk", "Just Like Yesterday" and "Can't Stop This Feelin'" can be surely played on the radio."

“The instrumentation, and tune-smithing is absolutely brilliant!”
