Now, Mike wants to explore other sides of rock music. "During my time in Mortal Remains, I always wrote more mainstream rock music on the side, the time has come to bring these songs to life" says Mike. " I always wanted to play music that is atmospheric, as well as straight ahead and catchy. The great thing about rock music, is that you can touch on all different forms of it and still be considered rock. With metal, it can seem limited to what you can do".

Wanting to put together a band that can go full speed ahead or know when to lay back, Mike was looking for musicians that have paid their dues as well as bring in their own style and ideas into the mix. A solid drummer was needed to build on, Mike Aaron who is the former drummer of a popular local NY band "UFK" as well as tons of projects with other local bands fit the bill. To provide the bottom, Willy Mosquera of "Attakku", an very successful and respected NY band from the late 80's, early 90's was brought on board. Chris Gold, who has worked the Long Island cover band circuit was added to bring in a solid guitar to the lineup. The MP project has been created.

With the lineup complete, the MP Project has made it a must to become a driving force on the NYC club curcuit. They provide a set list that consists of songs that range from Hard rock, pop, experimental to bordering on metal. Giving you a performance and a music variety that does not sound like one song that's an hour long. The MP project leaves it all out on the stage with the energy, drive and determination to be the best band on the bill and to have the audience leave with the songs imbedded in their heads. With each show, the buzz grows. Come on board for the ride, there's no limit to where it will go............
