Boy destiny was born in Hartford Connecticut as Michael Anthony Brocco at 12:00 am October 27th 1986 to Maria Brocco of (Broccastella province of Italy) and Emile Crick his father. The family under financial pressure was unable to keep Michael and he was placed up for adoption. In December 1995 Michael was placed in a loving home and raised by his adopting father Bobby Thornton of British Descent. During his childhood one of his foster parents took Michael abroad to the UK to London. As Michael put it, the experience changed his life and he fell in love with London and Oxfordshire at a very young age. " I was amazed by the history of the region and the beautiful and generous people of the UK". Since that time, I've always considered the UK my home away from home. As a child in Connecticut Michael showed early musical promise playing the String Bass at the age of six and performing in various school activities. At age ten he took up trumpet and played well enough to participate in a citywide youth orchestra in Hartford Connecticut. Then by age eleven Michael had moved to Philadelphia and found his true instrumental calling as he puts it...in the piano. He quickly learned this instrument and formed his first band at age thirteen.called "A Different Order" they performed throughout the Tri-state area and were featured on numerous television shows. Michael also sang in this band and at this time began to write musical and lyrical compositions for both himself and other groups. By age eighteen Michael had copywritten over twenty original pieces. As an extremely gifted pianist Michael offered his keyboard playing services to numerous famous and not so famous groups, in which he was able to share the stage with a number of artists including Queen Latifah, and Christina Aguilera.

In January 2008 Michael penned the tune entitled "You Got Me Going" also known as "The Emma Watson Song". His inspiration of course was the very beautiful and provocative Emma Watson of the Harry Potter franchise. "I've been a Harry Potter Fan since the Philosopher's Stone, so I was familiar with her for a great part of my life, as she matured into a young woman I found myself somewhat smitten by her, and this inspired me to write the song". Not satisfied with just writing the song Michael began to study video production and direction and editing and purchased a "Final Cut Studio Suite", which is used by professionals to make films. The goal was to make a professional music video. So he then wrote a screenplay for the song and used his drawing talents to storyboard the music video. Putting his producers hat on he went to Nevada, Philadelphia and Miami, Florida found locations, auditioned and hired dancers and choreographers and actors and a director of Photography. Then In March and April 2008, he and his crew and talent began film production for the Music Video, which ended on April 6th 2008. Between April 7th and April 15th he edited and composited the Final Video Product and released it to worldwide acclaim on April 15th 2008; Emma Watson's birthday under his performer pseudonym "bOydestiNy". For the future he is completing the album version of the CD and is considering touring options.
