Michael started a management firm representing select recording artists and for the first time ever, created a business managing record producers and songwriters ensuring that all players in the creative process were protected and properly rewarded. Hailed as an innovator in negotiating entertainment contracts, his advice is often sought after by his colleagues. Michael's intuitiveness for brokering diverse talents and commitment to the success of a project is renowned and maintains his broad power base within the industry.
