MICHAEL PROCTER
Michael Procter broke on the dance scene with his first garage vocal house song,
"Deliver Me" written and produced by himself alongside Marc Pomeroy
& Brian Tappert in a garage studio and a hot sweaty vocal booth
the size of a phonebooth ! They together wrote and produced "Love Don't Live",
the second Michael Procter release and also "Fall Down",
the third in the series in addition to the hit single "Movin" by Mone
on Strictly Rhythm.
The success of these first three records
marked and established Marc and Brians' record company (Soulfuric
Records) & Michael's Mychan Records & Publishing. Michael is on a
constant tour schedule for live PA's. Since his first live house performance at
the 1996 Wmc Soulfuric Party, his performances haven't stopped. And you would
know why if you ever attended a Michael Procter live performance… It's
the sweat, energy, the drive, the soul, the power of the music, the message, the
voices !
When you hear that driving house beat kick in,
you know you are about to be a part of an experience ! You become part of the
show, because Michael believes that house music is to dance to and celebrate to
and rejoice in. It's all about the love… The love of what we do, the love for
the people we do it with, and the love of God for letting us do it.
Michael
performs in house & dance clubs, from America to Switzerland, England, Spain,
Italy, Portugal, Germany, Turkey and Austria. At any given show, you could hear him doing
any number of his hit singles from "Deliver Me" to "Paradise", "Change", "Love
Don't Live", "Work It", "Early Morning Love", "Fall Down", "Give It To Me" or
maybe something unreleased and at times he just adlibs to one of the many dub
tracks of his songs or does an accapella rendition of a jazz staple…
Michael also was chosen by the country of
Switzerland to be a featured artists on a musical CD titled Soul Of
Switzerland which includes a jazz ballad of his called "Always"
which will be used in an international promotional campaign for the
country,before performing and hosting the CD release party in London in November.
Living in Las Vegas, Michael runs his indie
record label, Mychan Records & Publishing and works with many of the
