Dean's Notes: I met Michael this past
year through mutual friend and co-producer
Paul Antonell. First and most important to me
is that
he is a fan of my
music. Second and equally important is the friendship that's
grown from our mutual respect. As a result of
these two facts and his love and commitment to music and the
entertainment industry for decades, (as witnessed by his brief
bio to the right), he is now my personal manager.
In an industry rife with empty chatter, wishful thinking and
hollow promises, Michael's honesty, integrity and work ethic is
both refreshing and rare. Most evident is his true passion for
and appreciation of music and those who create it and I'm
proud that he believes I have something worth sharing and the
will to help me share it! DB
