Mike has been singing as long as he can remember. In fact, he started singing at
the age of 8 when he was a chorister for five years, during which time he appeared
in the movie Four Weddings and
a Funeral and sang on various soundtracks including
The Browning Version and The Ref.
He won the solo singing category at the Beckenham Festival in 1997 and the Surrey Young Male Singer competition in 2001.
Mike studied music for four years at the Guildhall School
of Music and Drama, where he gained a scholarship and a bachelor of music
honours degree. In 2004 at the same time as graduating Mike auditioned as a quarter
of the vocal group G4 on the first ever series of the hit TV show The X Factor and this was to change his life
forever. Four friends studying together ended up reaching the final of the live
shows from 50,000 applicants.
G4 subsequently released three albums, which sold 1.5 million
in the UK. Their debut album sold over 245,000 in its first week alone and was the
fastest selling album of the year in the UK. They
also released a Live at The Royal
Albert Hall DVD, an autobiographical book G4: Our Way and completed
five sell-out tours across the UK and Ireland, including a Cathedral
Tour where they sang acoustically. Other G4 highlights included collaborating with
Lesley Garrett, Robin Gibb,
Stephen Gately and Sir Cliff
Richard, performing in the The Royal Albert Hall
more than a dozen times, and having the rollercoaster ride G-Force named after them, which they opened
at Drayton Manor Theme Park. After three fantastic years together as a group, they
decided to disband to enable them to have more time to pursue their own individual
dreams.
Over the past five years Mike has made nearly one hundred TV appearances including Through The Keyhole, Blue
Peter, This Morning - twelve times, The South Bank Show and Friday Night with Jonathan
Ross. Recently Mike raised over £9,000
for charity by running the London Marathon
and the Great South Run for Bowel Cancer UK, a charity
close to his heart.
Currently Mike is singing, teaching, composing and performing. His debut solo single Why Not Today can now be bought from this website. As well as the pop songs he writes, Mike is writing an opera with a self-penned story and libretto inspired by a discovery he made in his family tree. He has already embarked on two solo tours this year, and will end the year with his 6-date Christmas Tour in December at which time he will also release his debut solo album.
