Musician of Electronic and Pop
A.k.a. Mike J. Stanley

Established as a solo artist in 2000, this electro wizard from England uses entirely synthesizers and drum machines to create uplifting, thoughtful, soulful, accessible electronic pop music. The music combines the classic sounds from the early 80’s synth pop scene with today’s current electro revival to form a unique pop sound. His influences come from great bands such as Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Human League, Goldfrapp and Erasure. He has an admiration for Nik Kershaw’s song writing skills and a passion for all of Vince Clarke’s music and style of musical arrangements. His debut album entitled “Soul Searching” released in 2005 featured the No 1 hit single “Already There” on soundclick.com. Three further albums then followed between 2007 and 2009 which featured well crafted electronic pop songs offering catchy electro anthems mixed with moody melodic pop. It continued to show his development as a songwriter. These releases gained fans throughout the world due to increased exposure on the internet on sites such as Facebook, My Space and Soundcloud. 'Come Together' is the much anticipated follow-up to 2010's 'World In Me' and once again is a triumph in shimmering brooding electronic pop. Featuring 11 new songs with various tempos and moods but all with a unique twist to tug at your heart strings or make you leap with joy. A more personal and introspective collection of songs than previous work but always with a nod to the fat analogue sounds from great artists such as Erasure, Human League and Depeche Mode.
