Michael Tolcher
This Lovejoy, Georgia native has the unique talent to blend different
styles of music.
His Southern roots clearly shine through in this R&B, soul,
& urban groove sound.
Michael Tolcher's early aspiration was to be an Olympic athlete. He
was well on his
way running track extremely well at Georgia Tech, until an injury sidelined
his career
and caused him to refocus on what he wanted out of life. Michael
decided to pursue
a formal musical career & embarked on a string of cross-country
gigs in clubs, bars
& coffee houses.In the fall of 2003, having finally completed his
journey in New York
City, Michael set out to produce his debut album I
Am, an inspired collection of
songs and melodies that reflect his personal outlook on life, love,
and social
consciousness with pop crossover producers, Pop Rox. Recorded
by
Chris Shaw (Bob Dylan, Weezer, Dashboard Confessional) and mixed by
Tim Palmer (U2 & The Cure) & Mark Endert (Fiona Apple, Madonna),
For the album sessions, Tolcher enlisted a diverse company of special
guests
to help realize his creative vision. The album includes melodi, harmonic,
&
rhythmic contributions from ?uestlove (The Roots, Common), Warren Haynes
(Allman Brothers, Gov't Mule), Gavin DeGraw, Pete Levin (Spin Doctors,
Fun Lovin’ Criminals), Eddie Martinez (Joe Cocker, Run-DMC),
Paul Frazier (David Byrne, Shawn Colvin) and Carl Carter (Maxwell).
In Michael's own words, "I wanted the record to tickle the ears, vibrate
the
hips and stimulate the mind. My formula is ancient and simple:
Melody + Rhythm + Meaning = SONG.”
