Born
in Boston, Massachusetts on October 6, 1977, Michael Burke grew up amongst
three brothers and four sisters. His first experience with a guitar
was in the
6th Grade. Entering a talent show as "The Beatles," it was
Michael's first time holding what would become his favorite
instrument.
From that moment on, Michael was hooked. In addition to his passion for
the guitar, he developed his vocal abilities by joining the North Quincy
High School choir. At the age of thirteen, Michael began teaching
himself the fundamental basics of the guitar. It was not long after that
before he would play for an audience.
By the age of fourteen, Michael was performing his first gigs publicly.
During this early part of his life, Michael began studying the bass as
well, bringing strength to a "Guns and Roses" cover band.
In addition to his early years gigging, Michael began developing his
skills as a songwriter at the age of sixteen. Since that time, he has
nurtured a growing repertoire of original pieces.
Michael's fortitude with the guitar is raw, self-taught and unyielding.
He challenges himself everyday to reach a new and higher level of skill.
SEVEN 13 welcomes his talent and benefits from such dedication to his art.
