Bio

Award winning songwriter and Nashville recording artist Michael Joseph Fabrizio found his musical roots in the rural hills of western Massachusetts. Currently working with renowned producer/musician Kent Wells (Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire), Michael released his breakout album "Inside/Out." The record spans years of songwriting efforts and compiles some of Michael's most passionate work. Michael is poised for success with a handful of “radio-ready” country crossover hits. A fusion of rock, americana, country, pop and soul, Michael is dedicated to making music that blends genres together; he calls it "cross-genral." His unique sound and style is forging a new path in country music which pays homage to the Nashville traditions while opening up a wider audience with his universal appeal.
It all started back in Richmond, Massachusetts when at the age of 12, Michael began studying the piano. Always a source of encouragement and inspiration, his family would listen as he learned to sing and play classics by Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings. During those early years Michael recognized in these superstars “something in the emotion they evoked in their voices that made me say, I want to do that.”
Michael's “performances disarm me in their honesty, tenderness and passion. An original in a sea of imitators," says Grammy winner Margo Garrett. Award winning, Nashville producer Kent Wells has become the latest fan and says, “With his solid presence on stage, and command of multiple instruments, Michael's love of music and performance make for a captivated audience and a great live musical experience that ranges from his vulnerable delivery of love songs, to high-energy radio-friendly tunes, with 'Country Friday Nights,' his self-written “ode to loving life and country music” being the centerpiece and climax of a live show you need to see!”
It was probably Michael's training in martial arts and athletics that proved to be one of the most important life skills he developed while living back home in the Berkshire hills as well as attending college on a baseball scholarship. The discipline and dedication he learned on the field proved equally important in Music City where there are songwriters on every corner. And yet, talent, skill, and dedication are abundant in Michael and have allowed him to be sought after as a co-writer by Grammy winner Tommy Sims, CMA winner and Grammy nominated Billy Kirsch, and hit makers like Del Gray, Zak Turner and the TV show Nashville Star. Michael has received multiple national and international songwriting awards, placed second in Strum Magazine's Music Madness competition, and has had his songs played on radio stations across the USA as well as on FOX Sports.
He lives by a quote his father told him when he was young, "to do great things you must believe greatly." And it is this great belief in music as a bridge to bring understanding and compassion, to express emotions and passion and to touch the lives of people everywhere that has infused Michael with the energy he expresses in his live shows. It “never gets old, never disappoints, and always leaves me wanting more!”
