Michael Fisher lives in the Los Angeles area. A native Californian, he was born in San Diego in 1960, raised in Los Angeles, and in 2003 concluded a 6-year stint in the SF Bay Area. Displaying a keen musical sense from a very young age, Michael in 1971 began studying classical guitar with Manuel Sanguesa, a Spanish guitar teacher who emigrated from Barcelona during the late '30s. The melodic and harmonic possibilities of the classical style unlocked a creative door for Michael, through which an unrelenting stream of musical inventiveness has continued to emerge.

In his teens, Michael was captivated by the richness and variation of progressive rock music of the '70s. Lasting influences from that period include work by Genesis, Todd Rundgren, King Crimson, Steely Dan and early Elton John. In the '80s, the work of the Talking Heads, and particularly of Brian Eno, became increasingly important to his musical world view. In the late '90s, another important influence became the pan-cultural percussive melange of Dead Can Dance.

In 1996, Michael became active with the Guitar Craft movement, a series of residential guitar seminars originated by Robert Fripp in 1985. He attended a Guitar Craft Level One course in Argentina during November of that year, and participated in a Level Two course in September 2000. The underlying tenets of his Guitar Craft experience continue to inform his music, providing important tools and perspective to his work.

Since the beginning of 2002, Michael has undertaken to organize and present his music to the Market. With an eye towards making deals for Publishing or Licensing of his music, M-Fisher is ready to do business.
