Bio
I've been described as a faith-based artist ranging in genres from Symphonic/Progressive Rock to Folk with an occasional Jazz or World twist.
In my 20's I worked on the east coast as a performer in restaurants and pubs.
I appear in the “Press On” video by Billy Sprague as the Harmonica playing minstrel opening and closing the video. In '86 while living in Israel, I had the pleasure of being in the cast of “Alpha & Omega” by English artist Adrian Snell and ""His Last Days" by Dallas Holmes.
BEYOND THE VEIL was my first album release of 14 originals. PROCESS OF ILLUMINATION, was a concept Rock Opera of 9 originals and NEATLY TIED RELIGION, a mostly satirical collection of 13. Then I released SHELTER, a collection of 11 lyrical originals. Then I released RENAISSANCE, a 14 song collection of mostly neo-classical instrumentals. COVENANT was a co-written collection of 11 songs that featured my wife, Nava on lead vocals for most of the album. Then I put out a collection of 12 fan favorites entitled THE BEST OF IAN MICHAELS. WHEN THINGS GET ECLECTIC, was my second instrumental collection of 11 tunes more in the Jazz and World genres. KINGDOM COME is a 13 song collection of a more apocalyptic endtimes theme.
