Michael's Story

Life I'm currently working at my own Music Promotions Business. Current projects include my client Don Coleman, who's songs : "Women,Whiskey & Rock'n'Roll (celebrating the life and spirit of Bon Scott)", along with the homage video, has been on AC/DC's website.His song "Loud, Hard, Fast & Wild (honouring Buzz Shearman)", which the Canadian band Moxy have on their website, has aired in Canada, USA, Australia & Europe. This song also got picked up by the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes to play at their home games. Don's next release was "Note For Note (in memory of Jeff Healey)" which aired on The House of Blues - Blues Hour as the featured "Bluesbreaker Song of the Week", with DJ Dan "Elwood Blues" Aykroyd, to their over 200 affiliates. The Healey Estate were part of the whole process and gave me photos to use in the homage video. We also had a campaign to nominate Jeff Healey to Canada's Walk of Fame 2010. These songs have played in 126 countries to date. Recently Don's Country song "Willie & Waylon" hit the charts and charted at #8. It really takes a shot at 'todays' Country so I expect only Traditional Stations will air it. One of his latest releases is a Bluegrass song called "Bluegrass Grows" and has Hall of Fame inductee Eddy Poirier playing on it. Don's song "Headstart" celebrated it's sixth year as the theme for the Headstart Moncton Christmas Charity Campaign to help raise awareness and money for those less fortunate in his community. All proceeds of the sale of "Headstart" goes directly to the charity and the radio campaign helps the...Expand for more
m surpass their goals each year. There is also a reprise of the song "Loud, Hard, Fast & Wild" which now includes guitar work by Earl Johnson of the Canadian band MOXY - Fantastic, driving song. "Three Hanks - Sr.,Jr.,III", another Country tune pays respect to the Williams Family. Don's latest song "Cloud Nine" was dedicated to the marriage of HRH Prince Wm and Catherine. HRH sent a thanks for the song. All songs are available on itunes globally and the videos are all on You Tube. Copy & Paste into browser - itunes.apple.com/us/artist/don-coleman/id290995387 . Recently Don and I organized a Charity Concert to raise funds for SickKids Foundation. With the performances of "Liberty Silver", "The Good Brothers", "Michael Pickett", Toronto Firefighers band "Firesound", ZZ Tribute "Sharp Dressed Men", Don's AC/DC Tribute "Don Coleman with TNT" and a list of great sponsors, we managed to raise over $2000 for the Foundation. I previously worked for the Int'l Law Firm of Stikeman Elliott and prior to that CBC TV Drama (worked on 360 shows, some of which made "NBC Movie of the Week"). I lived and worked in Australia (with the likes of Dame Edna, Paul Hogan, Mel Gibson plus the who's who in Politics, Music, Radio, Television, Fashion ) for four years. Before all of that I was with CBC in various roles and attended Ryerson for Radio & TV Arts . I'm still playing my guitar (Blues/Rock & various other Jams) and am an avid photographic artist ( one of my earlier photos is in the City of Toronto Archives) with credits for various projects along the way.
