Michael Brock was raised in 2 very different worlds. In the first half
he epitomized child actor in Vancouver, finding success as a
professional performer in film/tv/theater/modeling from a young age.
The second half was lived as real life mogli mountain baby in small
town Fernie, BC where he was the resident campfire entertainment, and a
competitive snowboarder. Poppa loved rock n roll and Momma, the r&b
divas. This balance has created an artistic, passionate soulchild, with
intense drive and business sense.
Honoured to be compared to the likes of James Blake, Jamie Woon,
Sampha, and The Weeknd, Michael’s brand of alternative r&b has quickly
garnered respect and attention. His vocal mix of strong and smooth,
along with a seductive pop inflection make him prime for the genre.
Poetic lyrics are paired with rich harmonies, sexually charged reverb,
and layered over heavy hip hop laced basslines, and ambient synths. The
result is emotional and infectious, without taking anything too
seriously. Michael will just as happily be your guilty pleasure, or
your favourite.
Michael currently resides in Vancouver, but spent a wild and
influential time in Berlin finding his voice and introducing himself as
the singer he is today. There is a message in the music, in the visual
aesthetic. Freedom to be romantic outside the boundaries of traditional
love, freedom in humanity beyond gender, sexuality, moral code. He is
highly inspired by the darkness of animal instinct in human nature. Of
course he hopes to move people, make em think, make em dance.
His debut EP “Scorpio” will be released March 25th through Hybridity
Music. Though Michael is the sole songwriter in his work, this 6 song
project features collaborations with wonderful producers in Vancouver, London, Berlin, as well as sultry female backup vocals from his 2
conveniently talented and beautiful best friends.
Music made for messed up bedsheets, beaches, night air. Music for
lovers, no matter how complex the love may be.
