Michael's diverse musical interests have produced eight Top Ten studio albums and nine #1 singles across Pop, Jazz & Classical charts, with global sales of more than fifty three million.

The six time Platinum album Soul Provider gave Michael his first Grammy for the #1 single How Am I Supposed To Live Without You? and hits with Soul Provider, How Can We Be Lovers? and When I'm Back On My Feet Again.

His second Grammy blockbuster, When A Man Loves A Woman, featured on the #1 album

More hits followed with To Love Somebody and Reach Out I'll Be There, That's What Love Is All About, the Grammy nominated Said I Loved You…But I Lied, the tribute Bolton Swings Sinatra and the album of arias, My Secret Passion, which remained at #1 for a record breaking six weeks on the classical charts.

A prolific songwriter, Michael has written for over one hundred artists and penned #1 hits for Barbra Streisand, Cher, KISS, Kenny G and Laura Branigan, collaborated with Lady Gaga, Ne-Yo and Dianne Warren and is one of the few to have co-written with Bob Dylan, which resulted in the mega hit, Steel Bars. 

Michael's latest collaborations include duets with Delta Goodrem, Eva Cassidy, Seal, Rascal Flatts and others on his Gems album and Emmy nominated, Jack Sparrow (with The Lonely Island), first exposed on Saturday Night Live and now viral with over fifty four million YouTube hits.
