About the Artist Mike Strickland was born to a musical family in Jackson, Mississippi in 1953, and has been creating his own music since he was a young child. In Mikes words, (He) simply always liked it. It was easy and natural, never difficult. Formal lessons as a youngster were followed by studies at the prestigious Berklee School of Music in Boston and California State University at Northridge. Mikes professional career originated while he was at college with the discovery that instead of studying for his business degree he was composing and playing music five to six hours a day. He began performing whenever and wherever he could. Venues were as varied as formats. Over the next twenty years Mike played with piano trios, country, rock and jazz bands, and backed up opera performances. He delighted audiences in places as diverse as Rocky Mt. ski resorts and Caribbean cruise ships. He considers versatility his strength as an entertainer and draws on his wealth of musical experience for his recordings.
