User:Michael Bowley

Michael has officially been playing guitar since the age of 3. He did not start taking guitar seriously until the age of 11.

Mr Bowley is an up and coming solo guitarist with a very unique style and technique. He has session'd with many different artists and is now putting his main attention to his new solo material.

The style comes from many years of guitar which comes from the majority of his childhood. The guitar nearly always came first and will do for the rest of his days. The top genre being Rock music in all forms to new genre Fingerstyle guitar with artist such as Andy Mckee and Antoine Dofour. Listening to all but playing style varies around these.

The influences vary from his number ones Slash, Mark Tremonti and Andy Mckee to BB.King, Tom Morello and many many more. "Music is always an influence and it never hurts to learn from many different genres and artists. Its the way we grow as musician" 'M.Bowley'.

It wasn't till the last two years that Mikes career started to make an up-rise with getting his first endorsement and writing some solid material and starting his band. New songs written all the time and more for the band, and will hopefully be released soon with his new demo album and BridgeBounds. He is also starting his own guitar company soon with custom builds which is starting slow but will hopefully pick up soon.

Its the uphill struggle now of trying to get noticed by someone big and to get a full career playing guitar. Either being a session musician or working with many different artists. Its more than a dream to play guitar at a level that could be classed as a career. Music is all he has ever wanted to do and nothing will change.

The first real solo song that was written was the song 'Reflections' of his demo album Spirals in 2008. He has written many songs in the past but this has been the one that has stuck and has had complete confidence in to perform in large shows with. Following that song he has written 6 more to complete the demo ready for the artwork to be complete and ready to be sold on itunes. You can also find his music on a few different websites such as YouTube, SoundCloud and on MySpace.
