Born: 24 December 1960

Died:

"The music of Micheal Jones has a haunting, cinematic quality, that soothes the soul and eases the mind.Bringing to mind the gentler music of Rachmaninov and Chopin, Jones spins a web of lush, mellifluous melody that demands the listener’s attention.This music deserves to be heard by a large audience, and may find favour among the cultured." -Marc Hoffman -

"Great music here. I love to turn the lights out, sit by the window and watch the sky and contemplate to music like this. It is very soothing and emotional." -Lyric Justice-

Michael is a solo pianist/composer, greatly influenced by the works of "Jim Brickman, George Winston, Cole Porter, and Andrew Lloyd Webber."

Michael’s philosophy on music: "I believe that music should convey emotion, not just in a lyrical sense, but through harmonic progressions and melodic movements. For me, music speaks louder than words; I truly feel that a soft, tender melody, much like a single, masterful painting, can speak volumes."

"Life constantly offers us new and exciting directions. In many respects, music does the same. An interesting counterpoint, an unexpected twist or turn in a movement, a harmonic progression leading towards a fresh new melody. In so many ways, music mirrors life."
