Michael James - Children of the Risk A UNIQUE ROCK ARTIST/WRITER LIKE NONE YOU'VE HEARD!!!! (this ain't no pretty boy, corperate-brain, 12 note theory artist) Michael James started playing drums at age 10 and joined his first band at age 12. Motivated by rock legends like "Iggy Pop, Billy Idol, and Green Day", Michael started playing guitars and writing/orchestrating songs at age 15. He has played with "popular rock /cover bar bands" and his own aggressive/alternative rock bands as well as producing rock bands. His first album "Runaway World" was released by ASI Records, and he has had 2 CD's released by Empath Records Inc. Michael plays all of the instruments (no automated) and sings/phrase-raps/croaks all vocals on his CDs. He has friends/studio musicians who perform live as his aggressive modern rock band "Children of the Risk". While motivated by bands like "Sum 41, Zebrahead, Blink182, The Offspring and Papa Roach", Michael James is really a unique hardrock "cult following" artist sounding like nothing you've heard, as fans from around the world testify to. He is currently recording with/producing SubPop artist "Michael Yonkers" new CD "13 Yonkers". Watch for release in late summer 2005. He is also performing "un-plugged" this summer and may record an accoustic/electric CD later this year. "Trip City Hard" and "Solution X" were recorded at both Empath Records and Star Vu Studios and were mastered by the infamous "Doctor Fink", former killer-funk techno-keyboardist for "Prince's" Revolution. "Trip City Hard" will be featured on several Live365.com stations in the Summer of 2005. There will also be an FM broadcast station campaign in the early Fall of 2005. Peace
