Michael E Frith(Michael E) had piano lessons as a young child but was really turned on to music in big way when Motown hit him like a ton of bricks in the early sixties, he was smitten and from that time on he’s had a love affair with music.
 
He joined various cover bands and toured the Euro/American Navy and Air force bases playing keyboards and percussion and enjoyed a short stint with U.S. vocal group Johnny Johnson and the Bandwagon, who had a massive hit worldwide with “Breaking Down The Walls Of Heartache.”
 
Michael started to compose and was enabled to fully realise the music in his mind when the digital/software age arrived, this allowed him to create full arrangements. With this evolution, he was free to conjure up wonderful sounds, haunting melodies and explore so many musical landscapes. Michael was well and truly hooked and it was a new beginning for him.
 
The Café Del Mar compilations were another major influence, he was hearing electronica mixed with more organic sounds. The music he was drawn to on these compilations had it’s roots in soul, jazz, classical and soundtrack music.
