Michael Stoltzfus, is one of the most natural artist I’ve met. A down to earth guy, with a good vibe, great vocal and the sensible hand on guitar. There is no doubt he is good enough, just a matter of time that he could be in the mix of great musician and artist. His sound is a bit silky, moist and flowy. It’s not much of a hard beat pop, but it will influence your heart beat when you are onto it.
Here are our converstion. Enjoy!
Q:Let’s start by telling everyone, who you are, where you’re from?
A: I'm motivated and hard-working kid just shy of 21 years old, and I moved to L.A. from Mohnton, Pennsylvania
Q:How would you describe your music?
A: I guess my music fairly serious for the most part with catchy melodies. It's got like an acoustic/pop kind of feel.
Q: who is actually you influence in your music and life?
A: As far as artists go my music is probably most infulenced by people such as Gavin DeGraw, Jason Mraz, Paolo Nutini and Justin Nozuka. As far far life in general my parents have been my biggest influence.
Q: How do you start writing your songs?
A: I typically start with a chord progression and from there a melody spawns. I actually like to write the chorus first and then work around that.
Q:Do you have a band that play with you constantly? Are you looking for any band mate at the moment?
A: I do not have a full band that I play with constantly as far as MY music goes. I have been playing with Beau Evans a lot recently, who is a phenomenal drummer. At this point in time I am not looking for any more band members.
Q:Any plan on booking any show? Bar performance and all?
A: I just played a show at Cafe Muse in Hollywood this past weekend and had a great time. As far as the future goes I do not have any shows set up but I would love to play anywhere people are willing to listen.
Q:Are you currently producing any CDs and stuff to be publish on iTunes or MySpace? How would people get hold of your music?
A: Currently I am shopping around to find a place to record a new demo. I do not have any CDs or recorded music for sale just yet. Best place to listen is my Myspace page, http://www.myspace.com/michaelstoltzfus for now.
Q: I’m surprise that no label have sign you with those music. So have you been sending any demo or getting and representation?
A: I had a demo that I handed off to some people who know people, and didn't get any bites. So like I said I'll have a new demo done soon hopefully and again continue to try to get it in the right hands.
Q: Something personal. Are you single? What kind of quality in the girl that you usually look for?
A: I am currently single. I'm attracted to girls that are down-to-earth, real, and are motivated about life.
Q: you into anything else than music?
A: I am also very much into acting and performing arts. I think it's another form of expression that is hard to replicate any other way. Also I love staying active and exercising!
Q: If anyone wishes to contact you or do any booking where or who should they buzz?
A: Best person to get in touch with for right now would be me!
Q:Anything you'd like to say to our readers?

I've known this kid since he was wet behind the ears here in L.A. He is one of the hardest workers I know and is also the most genuine. He deserves all the credit he gets and so much more. Do work Mike!
